A small aquarium layout featuring Announces If The Storm, 72L, by Aldo Santana. The composition is built around Dragon Stone.
The hardscape with Dragon Stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as Rotala "BSD", Rotala "h`ra", Staurogyne repens — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes.
Led lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Filtro Canister 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.
Livestock (Hemigrammus sp., e Tanichthys Albonubes.) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 55–80L.
