A Stream Passed

A nano tank layout featuring A Stream Passed, 30 L (7.9 gal.), Paludarium style, by Yiding Wang. The hardscape focus sits on Cork, Lava, Driftwood.

The hardscape with Cork sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 6 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Lava, Akadama Coarse, Tree Fern Fiber substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

ADA Aquasky RGB II lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in Paludarium.
