      Build one at home, collect sand & rocks outdoor, use some nice soil from your garden in those mesh bags they use for potatoes etc. Then cap it off nicely with sand
      Collect some wild plants from the nearest pond or lake …
      Put it all together and you have an awesome ecosystem aquarium! Search the Walstad Method & follow that.
      If you want you can add medicine to the tank to remove any parasites or harmful fungi/bacteria/ viruses & add one or two fis
