A nano tank layout featuring Silent night, 3.5L, by Thimanthi Lakshani. The composition is built around drift wood.
Read the stone and wood (drift wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (s.repens, montecarlo, hair grass, myrophilum green) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. black board substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
DIY lighting lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. no filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
Livestock (no) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
