I put an Imagitarium all-in-one inside of an Ikea Rudsta and used silicone to attach cork to make the background.
I no longer remember all the plants I mounted or planted, but I have 5 ruby tetras, 4 sparkling gourami, 1 oto, and some ramshorn snails and cherry shrimp. There is a filter in the front right that pumps water up to a drip feature to keep things watered and filtered so that the only thing I need to do is water top offs and very occasional water changes to keep the tannins under control.

No removals yet, but I have seen the gouramis go after the baby snails. No shrimp babies yet.

Thank you! It's probably my favorite setup right now.

Oh my fucking god, how can you create such a holy thing??? I have never seen anything like this in freshwater aquariums.
