In this video I make an attractive ecosystem island aquarium for my platy fish that's both low tech and no co2. I also make a LED light background to give it some extra pop. Hope you enjoy. 😊

Just one opinion but I think I prefer your more subtle background lighting effect to the bright, in-your-face ones you see more often. It gently lights up the background and makes the island stand out more as a result and as a result they compliment each other rather than fighting for dominance to the observer. Fabulous effect indeed and interestingly, the more I look at the tank the more that background effect makes the tank look to be at least twice as deep - front to back - as it really is. A surprising and very effective method of, visually, making the tank look far bigger than it really is. A great end to the year, happy new year to everyone and I look forward to the new years efforts on behalf of the fish you look after.
