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.
