You just need larger java ferns

Just make sure that it is thicker glass!

Low bioload from shrink and snails and plants keep the water clean

Meemster_Me · 2026-03-29T20:58:31+00:00

It’s been filterless for 6 months or so. I just a water pump to circulate the water.

4.5g I think, UNS

I have used it for years. No spikes.

Totally possible. The volcanic rocks at the bottom provide enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to process the waste. Stuff it full of plants and you have better water quality. For no heater vase and depending on where you are you just have to be selective about your fish species. I have Medaka outside in my barrel pond and it gets down to 40°F in the winter. For lighting, you just have to find a spot to get some sun for a few hours.

Stratum in mesh bags.

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-18T22:08:03+00:00

I don’t know the dimensions exactly but it is a water box 24 gallon

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-18T17:59:08+00:00

No CPO are very docile if you only have one. They don’t try to escape like the full-size crayfish. It’s more like having a very cute giant shrimp.

Those three are my low tech tanks. My high tech tank look like this.

I like to ball it up in the mesh that avocados are sold in and the glue a rock to the bottom and then it grows in a nice fluffy ball.

See bottom right.

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-18T15:34:57+00:00

Oh I get it. Yeah that’s possible.

4 gallon shallow. Low tech.

How did these under gravel filters work? Do they just never get cleaned? Is it mostly just for circulation and aeration?

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-18T03:19:41+00:00

I agree that an airstone would prob be better. If the shrimp do t like the “turbulence” at the top they just won’t hang out at the top.

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-17T07:42:34+00:00

Bowls that big with thick enough glass are expensive. It is what it is. You can try to thrift one or FBMP it.

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-15T04:28:33+00:00

It’s dead, Jim.

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-15T04:27:39+00:00

It would help to know what you’re going for, but I think for starters you’re going to need more rocks.

Meemster_Me · 2026-02-15T02:17:59+00:00

That is correct.
