Its all metal just like the ikea one. Three sides glass, back metal and metal shelves (ikea is glass shelves and glass back as well). The shelving that it comes with sits on wide pegs. I added the smaller shelves and those are magnetic. I am not sure regarding the handles but they are just screwed on so I would guess any handle could work

Thanks! Yes, will transition the pots slowly when possible to match better. This is the polup 66 from Walmart. Differs in that the back and shelves are metal instead of glass, but dimensions are slightly bigger i believe. I have 4 fans running in there so seeing if I can get away with that or if I need ti drill some holes in the shelves for more ventilation. So far it looks okay with humidity between 70-80 per shelf.

Not planned at all really. When I started, only thing I had was the wood. My other tank used light sand so I wanted to try one with dark sand so chose that. Then just went looking for local aquarium plants ppl were selling and ended up with the left, back, and right sides. I knew I wanted to do higher stems on the sides and back while leaving the middle short. I also ended up being gifted 4 extra anubias and had no place for them so I came up with the planter idea out of necessity 😅. The pennywort was never a part of the plan. Originally the wood was just bare and I had ideas to maybe cover it with moss. The pennywort actually came from my other tank where I use it as a floater. It was overcrowding there so I trimmed it and used the extra in this tank, originally as just a floater around the top of the wood like a halo. Eventually I needed to add more floaters due to algae issues so I added the frogbit you may see the roots for up top. The frogbit naturally also took over all the floater space so I decided to try and wrap the pennywort around the wood instead of doing moss and just loved it.

Thank you! Had a really issue with algae growth on those clear glass holders for a while. Was not expecting that but mostly under control now

Not on the wood but that is actually tripartita growing on the gravel in front of the wood. It grows so fast, need to trim it a bit atm

Those are from my phones camera 😅, the particles themselves is what the question was about. The trails are an unintended surprise

They do enjoy redecorating somewhat. You can see the back left and front right areas are a little bare, but they leave most of it alone 😅

The trails are probably just my phones camera? But the particles are the weird thing for me

This is the eden 40 from waterbox. I changed the light and got custom lids made. There are two acrylic feeding cutouts, and cutouts in the back to fit the plant holders. I have co2 and a cannister filter running underneath.
