Making a simple mini pond in the balcony for guppies
I have used a FRP tub which holds about 10 gallons of water.
Aquatic plant cuttings from my other tanks were used for this build to introduce beneficial bacterial into the tank quickly.
The pond setup was filmed over a period of 2 days.
I moved the pond to the corner of the balcony during the first full water change
The wild guppies were added after 5 days and after two water changes.
I also added an air pump to the pond to keep it well aerated.
Substrate - ADA Aquasoil and regular horticulture grade sand
Hardscape - Driftwood and river stones
Plants:
Aquatic- - Limnophila Sessiliflora, Anubias nana, Cryptocoryne Parva, Sagittaria Subulata, Cabomba Caroliniana, Najas Guadalupensis, Red Root floaters, Frogbits and Water Lettuce
Terrestrial and Epiphytes - Caladium, Raphidophora Tetrasperma, Pothos, Bromeliad, English Ivy

Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. The carefully designed soundscape promotes parasympathetic nervous system activation, helping the body shift from 'fight or flight' mode into 'rest and digest' mode. Regular listening can help establish healthy relaxation habits and improve overall stress management.
The science of sound therapy draws from multiple disciplines: psychology, neuroscience, and acoustic ecology. Research consistently shows that ambient sounds can modulate autonomic nervous system activity, shifting the body from stress response (sympathetic activation) toward relaxation response (parasympathetic activation). This occurs through multiple pathways: masking of disruptive environmental sounds, providing gentle cognitive engagement that prevents anxious rumination, and creating predictable soundscapes that signal safety to primitive brain regions. Regular exposure to relaxing audio can help establish positive feedback loops where the brain learns to associate certain sounds with calm states.
