BAMBOO RIVER (AGA 2024 #311)

A large aquarium layout featuring BAMBOO RIVER (AGA 2024 #311), 288 L, by Yorokobido Yamaguchi. The hardscape focus sits on Bamboo driftwood, Ryūō Stone.

Hardscape (Bamboo driftwood, Ryūō Stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Eriocaulon cinereum, Hemianthus callitrichoides ’Cuba’, Bacopa monnieri, Bacopa salzmannli ‘Purple’) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Aqua Soil-Amazonia , sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros LED VIVID2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Tetra Value X Power Filter VX-120 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
