Building a Planted Aquajar (no filter, no CO2, Walstad style aquarium)

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Please note that in my opinion only shrimps and snails are suitable for such small setups.
I have added the pair of guppies temporarily for the video shoot and cycling of the tank. They will be housed back to my main propagation tank after a couple of weeks. This will be a shrimp and snail tank only in the longer run.
Also this is a Walstad style setup and hence no filter or CO2 has been used. It is meant to develop into a thriving ecosystem. The plants will act as a natural filter so more plants, the better it is.
However it will need regular water changes and maintenance to keep the plants and livestock in good health. Fertiliser dosing will also be needed for plant growth.

Beautiful build. And I learned something I'll use forever. The layer of bubble wrap to break up the stream of water when filling the tank.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you!

@@TheUrbanNemophilist That's great. I look forward to seeing more.
Maybe a paludarium or two would combine both the beauty of an aquascape with your skills of terrariums.

Beautiful! That was a very valuable tip for adding water.

I like the plastic blocking water pouring in :)

Yes it prevents the sand and soil getting stirred up while filling up water

Beautiful and well done. Only one minor thing - I could be wrong, but I think those are guppies not tetras.

[@_invertico_]

Very nice setup! I absolutely love it,next time try some caridina shrimp like tangerine tigers

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you 🙏. I haven’t seen them at my local aquarium store. Will check again. I like them too.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes I think but you should use only one source to maintain consistency of parameters. So you should have enough stored rainwater to be able to do regular water changes.

amazing work !! but i do have some questions - which fertiliser would you suggest for this setup ? Also do we need to put any co2 supplement if we want to maintain this in longer run ? finally can we put 2 shrimps and 2 snails in this size ? or will this be overcrowded ? what do you suggest ?
