Environmental control questions

No problem. If low maintenance is the goal, I would use a drainage layer of leca, gravel, growstone, whatever, with a tank drilled for drainage. I can post pics of one or two of mine this evening. And I am sure I can have other post theirs. They are all different, yet similar. Coupled with a misting system, the tank will run itself for several days with no issue.

The problem with a false bottom tank, is that if anything were to get under the false bottom and die, the ammonia spike would be uncontrollable until you return to correct the situation. Remember, even when plants die, there is still an ammonia spike.

Lots of things to think about.
