I put an Imagitarium all-in-one inside of an Ikea Rudsta and used silicone to attach cork to make the background.

I no longer remember all the plants I mounted or planted, but I have 5 ruby tetras, 4 sparkling gourami, 1 oto, and some ramshorn snails and cherry shrimp. There is a filter in the front right that pumps water up to a drip feature to keep things watered and filtered so that the only thing I need to do is water top offs and very occasional water changes to keep the tannins under control.

That’s absolutely gorgeous! Are the snail and shrimp populations kept in check by the fish, or have you needed to do manual removals?

No removals yet, but I have seen the gouramis go after the baby snails. No shrimp babies yet.
