The plants will need food/fertilisers. Let's try to supply them with the water from the indoor aquariums. I have 2.
This is the main one. 4x2x2 feet. About 300+ litres. I have neglected it for so long. There are only 2 fish in the tank! A very shy sailfin pleco and a serpae tetra. Oh yes, and about a thousand bladder snails...
The job to revive this tank will be a huge one. I want to make it as low tech as possible, but priority will be to have a healthy environment for the inhabitants.

Off the top of my bald head I can think of...
- start regular water changes. The waste water will be great for the planned vege garden.
- get some water circulation going to mimic a gentle stream.
- lots of pruning
- slowly introduce some tank mates for the tetra
- slowly add some other species, maybe ghost shrimp, fighting fish, etc.
- address the lighting
- reduce the snail population.
