I Made a Tiny Ecosystem Out of an Abandoned Fish Tank (And Let It Grow)

Accidentally sparking a tiny ecosystem was not what I had in mind when I picked up an old, free fish tank. With a bit of restoration, I hoped to build a new home for the extra critters in my main aquarium, but nature quickly put a stop to my plans.

Watch as the tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.
Happy to answer questions in the comments 🙂
