After seeing the post by Graedog I thought I would post some pictures of my little bowl. I assume it to be about one gallon, although I never measured it. For the most part I started this tank on July 6, (it had been used for previous concepts in the past).
The base is Fluorite that i had left over from another tank. It is a really low maintenance tank I only top of the water about once a week and stopped doing water changes about a month ago.
In the past the bowl has held some guppies and shrimp. However for the time being there are only small white worms and other really small aquatic insects as the inhabitants. I feed them some shrimp pellets every other day or so. This also doubles as the fertilizer that goes in.
For plants there is a lawn of glosso, a small anubias, two stems of rotala indica?, and a small piece of lobelia cardinalis.
So far things have been going good basically no algae to speak of.
Here are a few pictures;
