A small aquarium layout featuring A Piece of Nature (AGA 2024 #190), 40 l L, by Láng Viktor. The hardscape focus sits on Lava stone and wood.
Hardscape (Lava stone and wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Taxiphyllum barbieri moss, Micranthemum tweedei ´Monte Carlo’, Anubias nana petite, Bucephalandra sp.) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA Amazonia , ADA Colorado Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
WRGB led light lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Eheim 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
