This is an old time 55 G I bought a few years ago for $40.00, that has a thick, glass cross piece. Had no clue what a planted tank was supposed to look like, let alone how to put one together. The lighting is one T8, 32 watts, I bought at Lowe's for $6.00. The plants are essentially the low to moderate light types, with a couple that require more lighting. Not really sure how they've survived so long.
The substrate is pea gravel from the LFS. The plastic pots have holes in the bottom and contain a little pea gravel at the bottom and a layer of organic potting soil covered by a little more pea gravel.
The inhabitants are 100 + or - Fancy Guppies of various shapes and sizes and 1 Albino Corydora that rarely appears.
Filtration and aeration is minimal, but I do a 50 percent water change every three weeks.
Not sure you want to try this at home. But, maybe you will just for the heck of it.
