So i set up a 20L emersed tank a couple of days ago and took some pics on the day of set up. Substrate is just a simple soil based compost but i mixed it with some old Dennerle deponitmix that i had lying around (had no other use for it) and capped with a little gravel. It's in my bedroom and don't have space on the windowsill and so i'm having to use a light to grow the plants. The light is an ikea light and the main reason i'm using it is because it gives out a lot of heat which heats the tank up nicely and makes it nice and humid. The tank has a glass cover on top to avoid all the water evaporating. The plants of got in there are hydrocotyle sp. Japan, java moss and star moss. The tank is not scaped i'm just using it to grow for now and then will be scaped later. I'm also trying out stargrass and some dwarf sagg. Although, they don't look to be doing too well Also added some bogwood to help soak up any excess water.
Here's some pics:
