Anyone check out the video what do you think???

Pretty cool! So the plants are going to suck up ammonia/nitrites/nitrates right? Because I think water wisteria is a good plant for that.

But the whole setup looks really cool!
And expensive...

Had a little re-think going to set the tank up with no substrate or nothing just the breeding pair and a breeding cone!

I'm not planting the sump yet gunna let the tank mature a bit first with the sump full of bio media and thanks the tank cost me £50 and all the rest in total around £250.
