So i figure this would make a cool thread to keep us occupied. Doesnt matter if its 1gallon or 10,000gallon. The smallest aquarium you got. Include details (size, filtration, inhabitants, ect.)

I will start us off.

Lighting consist of an led work light (only thing i could find small enough to light the tank)

Filtration consist of a tiny sponge with media container attached

Non filtered 2 gallon Cambarellus patzcuarensis tank.image.jpeg
 
Here is my smallest:
40B (48G) using 1x Quietflow 50 pro, 1x AC70 for mechanical filtration, 2x modified internal filters to hold all bio media, extra nature filtration by pothos and ton of bamboo lucky plants. Water parameter ammo 0ppm, nitrite 0ppm and Nitrate is 0ppm or at least undetectable from API test kit, currently housing a juv H. Tat (Red Tail Payara) so the bio load is quite small for now.

I'm going to modified the hardscape for a bit more open space, probably I will remove the center house and modified the silk plant and silicone it to the tank glass to lower the light a bit more.
