A nano tank layout featuring The Little Forest, 33 L (8.7 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Sherwin. The hardscape focus sits on Malaysian Driftwood & Black Lava Rock.
Read the stone and wood (Malaysian Driftwood & Black Lava Rock) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 7 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia 2 & ADA Colorado Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB 2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (3bps – 2 hours before light on , half hour before light off) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. TRU-90400N filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
