This setup is in a Marineland 37-gallon Column filled to about 40%. The fish are native Wisconsin species, but the plants are "stand in" riparium selections that look more less like some of the native marginal plants that we have here.

I started this project last year. I only go over there once per week, so it has been progressing slowly.

I worked on it a little more today, adding a few new plants. Here is a view in through the top.



I hope to get some more pictures maybe tomorrow.
 
Nice!
 
Very cool! What native fish are in there?
 
I just got an interesting aquatic plant from the milwaukee river, I'll post a pic later today. Supposedly there is fissidens fontanus in the lake mills area
 
Thanks everybody. I have a couple more pictures I can share here I just need to load them up.
 
Here's another quick photo update. The tank still needs to grow in some more. The fish in here are shy and hide most of the time, but if you look closely you can see one of them.

It's hard to photograph ripariums; the underwater part usually looks very shaded. It doesn't look like this to the eye, but the camera just can't capture the same depth of light and shadow as your vision can.
 
Awesome tank!
