Aquarium on the Window

I want to try to make a small plant low-tech aquarium.

This is quite a reasonable goal... if your tank is small, smaller plants may lead to better aquascape than say planting an echinodorus amazonicus in a 10 gal.

NPTs can grow small plants, but I must say that generally the 'scape side is not yet fully explored to the extent as I have seen with high tech aquariums. Just an opinion, prove me wrong

Welcome to APC!

You need to top the soil substrate with coarse sand or some other similar material. If you don't you get a big muddy pool when you add the water.

Welcome!

Thank You!

Where'd you get that sand at?

It's river sand. It is used in construction. I have selected fraction of 1-3 mm.

nice, buy them or are they native?

They are not native. I think from the American biotope.

nice following along still. Cant wait to see it when it grows out.

Nice
