How nice of you to say Dawn, thanks!
I'm enjoying controlling the aesthetics in this tank. We like to tinker! I think, with time it will fill in well.
Concurrently, I'm trying to assist, or at least get out of the way of Nature, in bringing together a functioning, mini-ecosystem. Lately I'm focusing on plants, which form the structuring elements. Next, I'll revisit pods and a diverse community of detrivores. I want to see if I can close the circle, where detritus production balances with detritus processing/consumption. I wasn't quite able to, in v1. It may not be possible, in a closed system, but it's an ideal to strive for.
