DIY stand has a hydroponic garden inside and also plenty of storage room, under the tank. The stand is about 4 feet high, so the top of the tank is nearly 6 feet up. It really gives a nice effect to look through to the back of the tank; which is enhanced by the 'breeder' design, low and wide. It is only rough finished, the front is open, but it allows airflow to the garden and for easy monitoring so I don't mind. 5 dwarf neon rainbowfish, 5 harlequin rasboras, 4 pygmy corydoras, pair of c. sodalis, pair c. paleatus (long fin), 2 otocinclus vitattus and 1 clown plecostomus Filtration Aquaclear 30, internal power head with sponge over intake Lighting Window screen wood frame DIY fixture w/ up-down adjustable LED bulb Heating None Feeding 1.
