A large aquarium layout featuring AGA 2023 Layout 145, 450L, by YongMing Zhang. 火山熔岩 沉木 巢湖砂 set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (火山熔岩 沉木 巢湖砂) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as 石菖蒲 迷你矮珍珠 趴地矮珍珠 叉叶铁皇冠 辣椒榕 矮种黑木蕨 青木蕨 仙人掌 怪蕨 凤尾苔 — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. 黑色贴纸 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
LED 120W lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. CF1200 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.
