Finally filled! Turns out the tank was bigger than I thought, so it'll still need more water than I had prepared, but the filter going and it sounds like a lovely fountain.
Aquatic habitats in the wild are rarely clear, and while I don't intend for the water to remain this cloudy, clear water is mostly a feature for humans to see their fish!

Like house plants, aquatic aquarium plants can enjoy a pot too. If you ever wonder what thrives in those itty bitty pots, it's aquarium plants! A potted plant can be added to any tank because the substrate the plant needs is in the pot; no need to rescape your whole set up.

The natural world is a wonderful place to find natural additions for an aquarium. After all, all the animals and plants we keep are naturally found outside!
Collect items only where allowed to do so, and clean them well.
Test rocks for soluble minerals by spritzing them with vinegar. If they fizz, they may upset the water parameters of your tank, so best to leave those for the rock garden.

Having a plan before going into a new aquarium building project can be helpful. For this project we are mimicking a shallow, slow moving stream. Perhaps some nearby branches have been swept up by the current, and the under gravel filter plate will help mimic subterranean water flow.

Mollusk Mama is all for live plants in every aquarium set up. They can be a bit more work in maintenance, like these that have just grown wild. But their benefits far outweigh the work. For instance, this same tank hasn't had a working filter for years... And the catfish that calls it home is, perfectly healthy. Proof of life to come soon.
