Hi, I'm from Chile and seeking information on the web I found this forum ... so I signed up and here I am, my English is very bad, so I write this with the help of Saint Google, so I apologize for them typing errors ...
I am a child I have aquariums and lately I've been interested in aquariums in the sun, without any technology, only with sunlight, and paid substrate soluble in water ...
I leave you some links of my tanks I've had, we are in winter and now I have only 500 liter tank in the yard, smaller aquariums and I have to us, just for lack of time ...
Hope will be a contribution to all fans of this theme aquarium sunlight ....

Welcome to APC, and thanks for the photo of your beautiful tank!

Here in Texas, I set up several small "patio ponds" every summer. I find that I get the best results in dappled shade under trees, like your tank gets. It is very hot here in the summer, with high temperatures of over 100 F/38 C.

What is the climate like in your part of Chile?

inspirational tank. i see that you post this tank in 2011 AGA competition. hope this tank can encourage more people to try el natural method
and by the way, your rotala macandra tank is sensational

Bienvenido, Roberto.
Es muy bonita su acuario.
Yo tengo acuarios afuera, tambien. Estan en un invernadero, pero hay mucho sol y sin lamparas.

I hope I said that right.

This is in full sun!? How many hours a day?

WOW, those are some beautiful tanks. Some are better than my tanks I keep inside!!! If only I had a place to put tanks outside.....

I cant even believe that's possible you must have some magic dust that prevents algae.

Beautiful!

I've seen that tank before and inspired me to follow my instinct and redo my 260L aquarium in the sun. Unfortunately lately I've run into greenwater problems... :/ Maybe the heat wave? But hopefully it'll clear soon. The plants just look like a jungle in it but I can't see enough to trim it!

If you need any help with the English, I'm Spanish (Canary Islands) so I can help

And if you have any suggestions for my greenwater, do let me know

I *love* your marsilea cube!!

I wish Minnesota weather was nice enough to do this year round...
