The loc line has nozzles built in.
The white mesh allows water to pass under the cork, acting like an undergravel filter.
Inside the mesh is the pump, which is wrapped in blue filter foam with a rubber band around it.
The tank is doing fine. It provided most of the HC for my larger 45g paludarium, and is now regrowing what was harvested. I am in the process of swapping out the substrate for a buffering gravel, to see how the plants are affected by buffered water through the drip system, and to start keeping hard water shrimp in the tank. It will be a couple of weeks before that's done I think. At which point I'll be adding a Dwarf Mexican Crayfish as the main inhabitant.
