Autumn’s embrace

A large aquarium layout featuring Autumn’s embrace, 300 L (79.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Thomas GUEGUEN. The hardscape focus sits on Black lava, river wood.

Hardscape (Black lava, river wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Ada Amazonia substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (Jbl) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 3000l/h filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
