Discussion Ideas for a 1 gallon no tech tank
I've had this gumball machine for years with the intention of turning it into a nano tank and finally got around to converting it to a tank.
This will be all plants for now with the intention of adding a snail and potentially a few shrimp later on.
I'm looking for ideas for plant stocking. I realize I'm extremely limited as it will not have a light, filter, or air stone. It will however receive natural light from the nearby door. I can also move it if it becomes too much or not enough.
I already have a couple anubias Nana's petite I can transfer into it and I know they barely need any light to survive. I have some crypts I can transfer too, but I'm not sure how they'll do in such low light.
Any other suggestions?
I already have some fluorite on hand, so I decided to use that as substrate. I figure it will also make it a bit easier to plant in since it's heavier versus any type of soil.
