A small aquarium layout featuring AGA 2023 Layout 330, 64L, by 彭昶尧. Sweep wood set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Sweep wood) 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 Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn var. latiusculum (Desv.) Underw.ex Heller.Angiopteris fokiensis Hieron.Dauallia bullata.Myriophyllum aquaticum.Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam.Lemna minor. — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Black background paper substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Spotlights lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Atman Filter barrel 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 Lepidobatrachus laevis, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: A pool near trees.
