not really, there is a power filter hidden somewhere within the driftwoods for the 1st and 2nd pic.
for the 3rd pic i use canister filter as u can see from the pic.
all i did was a weekly 10-20% water change tats all.
in fact this kinda setup is even less tedious than fully planted tank.
i only use low tech plants, so far i dint put any co2 and fertilizer yet.

its not tat hard to setup tis kinda tank.
juz need to find a few piece of suitable driftwood
arrange it nicely and lay the water tube.
for the filteration u can buy canister filter, its abit expensive but worth it coz u would have less headache. I got one canister and another 2 DIY filteration system.

for the plants u can juz use low tech plant like anubis, nana, cryptocorene etc
for the lighting, i juz diy using normal fluorescent tube or u can buy ready make light from LFS.

u may check out my first pic, i lay the water tube around the driftwood,
and punch some holes along it, so when the pump is on, water will drip down from the water tube to the driftwood..

after sometime when the moss and other plants outgrown the driftwood, the water tube is no longer visible from outside.

A mist system on top will allow u to grow riccia or moss on drift wood smile.gif
