Aquarium Advice FINatic
With no electrical equipment. Is that possible?
Something like this:

Can that be done with no fish?
Basically just want to start another hobby to pass time, with another water based tank, but something very simple and cost efficient. And I have too much electricity running at moment from other tanks. So I thought plants would be good. If possible, maybe throw in an invertebrate or 2.
If this is possible, I have a few questions, as I have never had real plants before. I am a real noob to this, so sorry for the basic questions:
1. Exactly what would I need all up?
2. What is the smallest size bowl I should get?
3. Can I just leave bowl permanently outdoors for sunlight?
4. How do I keep water clean?
5. Do I still need water changes?
6. Do plants or invertebrates need to worry about nitrogen cycle?
7. If invertebrates are allowed in a small bowl, which of them would be ok to add?
8. I actually have a spare 4g tank square cube tank lying around somewhere. Would that work better than a smaller 1g or so round bowl?
9. What plants would work, if just kept outdoors.( or maybe indoors with just standard house lights on ceiling, which ever works better)
I think that's all questions I can think of?
Thanks guys.
