Description

This Ultum Nature Systems 20c was originally made for a coffee shop nearby. After about two months the coffee shop closed and not because of the aquarium LOL. It’s a nano cube using pacific wood and seiryu stone. The substrate is ultum nature systems controsoil extra fin black. 100% lowtech. No CO2, ferts, not a filter has ever been used. It currently houses one betta fish by the name of Lewis Carrol.
