Thumbs up The Modern Nano, of sorts

I have always dreamed of a simple, minimal nano tank. This is my attempt at minimalism, but with rationality. The tank's stand and canopy were designed to hide equipment and at the same time, not be visually obtrusive. I decided to make it hide the ugly black tank trim. I am working on hiding the heater and pumps behind the main penninsula.

as for tank design, I'm not using much equipment. I am also not stocking any type of fish or invert. My idea is that by simply not adding larger life to the tank (organisms larger than bacteria and microfauna, like fish, snails) I won't have to deal with nutrient problems. And I shouldn't have to deal with algae. the tank is bb, so I can easily get rid of any detritus with waterchanges.

its a work in progress and I will keep updating progress, enjoy!

50 watt heater
