The aquarium successfully passed the test, the water holds ..... juhuuu.
It was necessary to get the base, stones, roots and much more.
The sand has a granulation of 0.2-3 light brown shades, non-carbonate sand without sharp edges, 80 kilograms.

The first two roots were found in the water of a mountain stream near our place.
When processing the roots, a beautiful reddish color was shown.
The roots are huge, the length of the larger one is 160 cm, the smaller one is 100 cm. Cleaning was done with a high pressure cleaner.

While the aquarium got a wooden frame, the roots sank.
The first lighting was LED which later turned out not to be the best solution. The first home-made LED console did not have sufficient cooling ...

Such was the first basic placement of roots, stones, and the first plants I had available.
In the central part of Nymphaea lotus and Bolbitis heudelotii , the larger plant on the left is Crinum natans , and on the right Crinum calamistratum (June 2, 2018)
