    Hey guys.
    Any ideas or suggestions on a 30l low-tech set up?

    If it's a tank, I have one.
    I have the tank and a filter. For now. I was thinking about trying out a moss wall, maybe also only fill the tank half way?

    If you do not add water and fish hardly anybody will notice :D

    Have you never seen an awesome plant display in a oscar tank and went wait a minute?

    ... seriously small planted tanks are a challenge, esp when you balance the health of your fish with the plants.

    Give it a spin, start with what you have bits of in your other tanks ... it might just surprise you grow better than your big planted tank.

    I think I will probably use off cuts and see what takes?
    I wanna try the moss wall thing. Only ever seen it online...
    Also, I like the paludarium thing, where some plants are grown out of the tank.

    How about a Susswassertang wall?
    I did a couple of them, and they look much better than a java moss wall in my opinion.

    I saw this post of yours earlier. I like it, but I haven't had a very good experience with suss....
