My Best Experimental Tank
Here's a pic of my 38 G. No mechanical filtration, just the emersed plants to keep the water pure. No traces of ammonia or nitrites. Nitrates consistently in the 5 ppm range.
Tank has about 75 Fancy Guppies and some various potted aquarium plants.
No maintenance needed, with the exception of replacing about 2 gallons of water per week because of evaporation and trimming the plants every week to 10 days. Total maintainance time 20-30 minutes per week.
