A large aquarium layout featuring Aesthetic, 300L, by Charlie Setias. The composition is built around Lava Rock and Drift Wood.
The hardscape with Lava Rock and Drift Wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Christmas Moss and Cryptocoryne parva — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. None substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
LED Light 22 Watts lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Canister Filter 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.
With Neon Tetra, Shrimp Snail, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
