I am sadly having to sell this but after 2 years of fidling, I am finally happy with how this experiment turned out.

That's cute! Do the plants on top grow in the aquarium water? Why do you have to sell it?

It has an overhead trickle filter box that I emptied out and replaced with Seachem Fluorite Red (I also did another filter the exact same way but with LECA and the plants grew just as well in that too) and put baby terrestrial plants into. Baby plants arent so baby any more lol.

I'm disabled and my health issues have just gotten worse over time so I have to sell most of my aquariums including this one. Sucks balls as I had some really cool ideas to try out, but such is life. I'll still have two plus my ponds 🐟💙
