Aquatic garden – Minor Palette

A nano tank layout featuring Aquatic garden – Minor Palette, 35L L, by Corné Spoon. No hardscape and plants only set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (No hardscape, plants only) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as Staurogyne repens, L Rotala singapore, Didiplis diandra — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Tropica aquasoil powder, JBL ProScape Volcano mineral substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

WeekAqua Z200 Pro lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Eheim eXperience 150 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.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 28–55L.
