A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Reverse Flow (, 112 L (29.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Jose Matias Sanchez. The composition is built around cosmetic white sand with seiryu rock.
Read the stone and wood (cosmetic white sand, seiryu rock, mangrove driftwood, red root, wood mediterrane…) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
