It reminds me of a waterfall in Hawaii.
This looks like a very healthy ecosystem. You seem to have had this setup for at least a year. Did you have to take it apart for cleaning?

There is no cleaning and taking things apart. The only thing I clean is the glass. Sometimes I'll remove dead leaf or trim a plant but that's it. 95% of the time, If a leaf drops, it decomposes and that's it. Soil has a ton of tiny decomposers, few earthworms. Water is filtered 24/7 via a canister filter located below the tank. Partial water changes are done daily. Misting System sprays RO water into it and a timed pump, removes a bit of water everyday to maintain a water level. It's a self sustaining eco system...well somewhat I provide, lights, water, etc and food for the frogs, the rest just happens

Amazing setup! One of the finest i have ever seen. I am working on a similar project, and might borrow a few ideas. Not stealing your design ideas, just tech ones :P Again, amazing!!! Any plans on adding more plants? I used ricchia on a chunk of wood used for a waterfall, went crazy. Keep up the good work, any updated pics?

I totally agree with you Mike,it is amazing set up! I will try to do something like that but without a water fall because my aquarium is made of tampered glass and won't be possible to do it. Mike where did you get riccia ?Congratulation Marty,you are really very talented guy
