Simple Pleasures

Unfortunately life's been too busy and I haven't had time to 'really' scape a full size setup, so this little tank is filling the void.  This little 0.9g Cube is unfiltered and just receives a weekly water change.  The setup right now consists mostly of Riccia, but also contains some Mondo Grass and a few small Crypts that haven't grown in yet.   This tank has a small LED lighting system and receive some afternoon sun.  The little tank also features some emersed growth both from the semi-aquatic Mondo Grass, but also from the Riccia growing over the lava rock that is above the water line.

Because of the afternoon 'burst' the Riccia pearls all afternoon, adding to the satisfaction a little tiny setup can bring.

The setup is approximately four months old and I have not trimmed the Riccia yet, which I still don't understand the pearling and lack of extreme growth, but it's working perfectly right now.

Some specs on this tank include:

Hardscape: Pool Filter Sand, ADA Power Sand, Lava Rock.
Light: Rio Mini Sun LED Clip-on
Filtration: Weekly water change
Flora: Riccia Fluitans, Mondo Grass, Crypt Nurii
Fauna: Few pond snails

Here's another pic of the full setup with just the LED light for the picture:
