Low pressure CO2 system. This tank ran on DIY

This tank was originally inspired from a tank from
Amano's Nature Aquarium World Book 1. I wanted to
use some Riccia and new the it would pearl under
the bright light. I wanted to keep the aquascape
as open as possible, since the tank is fairly
small, but I also wanted to create a dense forest
look to it as well.
