The construction of an aquarium bonsai causes difficulties with respect to maintenance, equipment to be installed are often too large, the design of Layout seen that the space is minimal and the choice of plant and especially the fauna to be very careful so as not to cause havoc in an ecosystem so small and delicate and charming.
Equipment
All materials must be well proportioned to each other. So let's start from the tank which is usually sold as a glass cube vase flowers in the garden, I recommend not to use plastic tubs because it is difficult to clean in case of algal blooms. There are various measures of the market and then in 
based on what we have in mind to choose the most suitable for us, in my case I opted for a container for Bamboo hydroponics than 6.5 liters. Taking into account the litraggio, particularly gallons, the second step is to obtain an adequate lighting system. In stores you can usually buy a mini ceiling with minimum wattage of 9 Watt which might be appropriate if mounted at a distance of 15 cm above the level of 'water and growing plants that need a very intense lighting. By calculating the gallons of my "bonsai acquarietto" including the substrate and furnishings have all 5.5-liter 's water and then decided to mount a fixture "I do " of 5 watts.

See the construction of mini lamp.
For now I will not ride on any but a total change filter osmosis water flow with the following values \u200b\u200bwith sera and sera Florena Mineral Salt ® ®: GH 13, KH 6, FE 0.5 mg / l. But if you do not find a good installer mini external filter type EDEN 501. The temperature should be between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius.
Substrate
will use activated carbon as substrate (Wave Axorb) gravelit, Osmocote and bacteria in dust ( Wave Caps Refresh ).
Layout
For the layout I thought of recreating a Iwagumi or a setting sun with rocks. I have grouped them all and left in order to leave more free space as possible and give the 'impression' s largest aquarium and saw that the other three corners are free. The substrate has to degrade from the second floor with a height of 6 cm to to reach 2 cm in the first to give a deeper perspective effect. The plants chosen for this exhibition are: Microsorum Pteropus, Echinodorus tenellus and Vesicularia Dubyana for the time being then, once you get a fund mature and full of bacteria, plant it even a few stem Hemianthus callitrichoides. Instead, as I think about the wildlife and perhaps a few Neritina Betta Splendens.
Here are pictures of various stages of 'construction.
