Easy and cheap...

I'm starting a new project, as the title says the goal is to have a nice layout with less cost and less maintenance.
So there is not fertile substrate but only river sand, and a lot of epiphytic plants, Bolbitis, Microsorum (Pteropus petite, Trident, Windeløv), and Anubias nana.
Let's wait and see what will happen...
