No tech tank (no livestock)

I have a lovely, spacious windowsil next to the bath (shower over). For obvious reasons I wouldn’t run power to that location. I’m wondering how viable it would be to put a tank there as a plant nursery? It would be on the cooler end of room temp (though more in summer) and lit from the north facing window. There’s enough light to keep spider plants, tradescantia, pothos/scindapsus and harts tongue fern happy (not tried much else), but that’s without the extra glass and water in the way. No flow, not even an air pump (unless I can find something battery powered and waterproof).

Aside from wanting to use the space for something more than half empty shampoo bottles, I need a nursery for plants that my synodontis bully. The idea being to put them in there while they convert to submersed growth or grow up from young tissue cultures. A melting crypt or baby buce is like blood in the water for my synos 🥲 the current nursery is being evicted to make way for my girlfriends shrimp tank.

Recipe for sad plants, lots of algae and wasted money?
 
Hi all,

Absolutely perfect.

Use this as a search prompt: site:ukaps.org "no tech". Enough people are doing no tech setups.

Will it work like you have in mind? Give it a go and find out.

Cheers.

I tried the site search which wasn’t helpful (unless I’m missing some functionality). Didn’t think to use Google to search within UKAPS 🫣
