Wow Niko sorry to hear that. Im from Texas as well. I live here in Miami and they tried to do that but was shot down based on the fact that the exotic pet/plant hobby brings in billions of dollars in revenue each year.

I have a ten gallon NPT with no filter and no water movement. It has been running since Sept. 2010 and I have done no water changes. Tests for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate have always been below the threshold of the tests. I keep 4 harlequin rasboras and a pair of apisto cacatuoides in the tank and the tank is filled with easy plants.

No problems so far. The apistos are young and do seem to be growing slower than their siblings which are in more conventional and larger planted tanks. But they look good and act healthy.

While water movement may not be absolutely necessary, for growing plants it would be better to have some type of water circulation. I have tanks that are filterless, however, I either use circulation pumps or powerheads to circulate the water.
