Almost Sunset

A large aquarium layout featuring Almost Sunset, 300 L, by Rennier Katigbak. The hardscape focus sits on Volcanic rocks and pine wood barks.

Read the stone and wood (Volcanic rocks and pine wood barks) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as Rotala wallichii, Rotala sp. &#8216, Vietnam&#8217 — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Amazonia substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

RGB lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. 2x Dophin filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
