The PFK visitors are already familiar with this one but I like to show my work just like everyone else. It's a low tech affair and doesn't look nearly as stunning as some of the other tanks here but I like it.
The setup was inspired by some of Heiko Bleher's biotopes. When I set this up I was thinking of the edge of a stream that had flooded but since then it's been slowly turning into a bit of a jungle tank.
Hardware is a Juwel Rio 125 with stock lights and an Eheim 2211 filter

July. I added cyperus helferi to the back left and moved the nymphea which is just starting to grow.

In august I removed the front windelov because there was almost no light below it. The background is covered in a thick layer of moss almost everywhere now.
