How To Make A No Filter, Natural Planted, Dirted, Low Tech, Ecosytem Aquarium

Reklam

I’ve just finished my final setup of the year and completed the last aquarium of my new filterless aquarium series. Let’s see what kind of setups we’ll create in 2026.

It’s possible to create beautiful, sustainable ecosystem aquariums without spending a lot of money, with minimal technology and affordable materials. And you can do it without stress or exhaustion. Having an aquarium hobby doesn’t mean adding stress to your life, it means sitting in front of the tank you built with your own hands and letting go of the day’s worries.

Of course, not every aquarium can be set up this way. Whether or not water changes are done, whether a filter is used, and how the aquarium is designed all depend on the needs of the animals living inside and on our own expectations from the tank. When necessary, water changes can be done, and filters can certainly be used in the systems that require them.

I’ve made a list of the exact products I use. If I couldn’t find the exact ones, I included similar products, and if I couldn’t find those either, I added alternatives that might be useful for you. You can check them out in the products section.
