These are one of my favourite kinds of tanks to create. Nothing but plants, hardscape, water and fish….and a light. Ecosystem tanks, or tanks that don’t have a filter or require water changes are so easy to keep. There is a little bit of work to get them going but no more so than setting up a normal fully filtered setup. We just need good nutrients in the substrate to get the plants to grow and then pack it out with fast growing plants. they basically do all the work. As the fish, shrimp and snails poop, they provide an ammonia source for beneficial bacteria and the plants. This is what is filtering the water and after a few weeks, there will be no need for water changes and the tank will be thriving!

I've seen a lot of these no filter tanks and I'm wondering if you can cap aqua soil or similar with sand to have the same effect or does it need to be compost?
can you use tropica aqua soil as a base layer instead of aqua compost
A noobie question, no CO2 needed?
are u sure this superglue is safe? and how will plants grow if u stick them with that, if is ok i wanna use it too
50% change every day? That seems a bit much
Am I missing something? Your title says no water changes but at 20:50 you say it
do you have to put cycled water into a tank with plants?
Wait is it ok to use cotton to tie down the moss? Most sellers I see use fishing line. If i could use cotton thread that'd save me some time from having to go buy fishing line
What about a heater??
What about a heater for the tank?
I feel like the fish will be able to smell the glue forever.
Did you put quick start in each time you did a water change? Also if you get a bacteria bloom would you continue the water changes or wait it out at that point?
Do you leave the lights on 24 hours a day?
how long till you cut the string or do you just leave it?
I'm obsessed with this tank, saved for inspiration on a couple tanks that have been empty for too long, one for my Betta for sure. Thank you
I think I would put the shrimp in away from the beta. Giving them a better chance. Just Saying.
Title says "no water changes" but you say this set up needs a water change every single day?? lol
Any chance you have an email I could contact you at just to get some help with my betta tanks I've just started up?

I worry about the sharp part of wood. But awesome job love your videos.
Cool moss idea ! I saw some moss in store that makes a shape. Plus betta live bugs.petco
Beautiful! I want to do this too!
How many gallons?
I like strip tests because the drops are going,up in price and u run out of some test bottles faster and have to replace. Granny 67
Do you know if you'd be able to put African dwarf frogs in this kind of tank too? I heard they do well with Bettas
Don't you need a heater?
Beautiful set up! N your Betta looks so beautiful ♥️
No heater ? .
Still in perfect balance look’s great!!! Ty Iam really enjoy it
hey gys i just wanna ask cuz i am confused werent they bro and sis oe is this a sarcasm thing to call them bf and gf , i just dont get it i am confused
19:33 wow, I had no idea shrimp could be so pretty…I wonder how hard it is to maintain an aquarium of all shrimp.
This is a very interesting hobby, seems to combine plants and science in an interesting and artistic way and I like all of those. I'm hesitant to pick up a hobby that involves living creatures though, even if they just are fish. It just feels like the instant you throw a creature into the mix it becomes a lot harder to drop if you lose interest or find that you don't have the time or money necessary.
I haven’t read any of your comments or follow you but my son is obsessed with your work, the down side being without any guidance on creating a safe environment for his fish he spent all he had to replicate your scapes but failed to ensure the plants, soil, serif acts were safe and ended up with unusable tanks because of fungus. Maybe you could help educate kids on the importance of cleaning and creating a safe environment and it just the looks.
is it ok for random house dust to settle on the top of the tank or should you want to put some kind of cap over it?
Your betta will eat your shrimp
Beautiful! Your videos are so inspiring and relaxing at the same time.
What’s the light called your using
Tou can glue the plants to objects and it will stay alive? It doesn't need to be in the dirt?
Noob question, what are root tabs?
Where did u get your light !!!! With those long brackets ???
