A large aquarium layout featuring Beneath the Fallen Wood, 202 L (53.4 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Styrbjörn Käll. The composition is built around Seiryu stone with wild wood.
Hardscape (Seiryu stone, wild wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Tropica Aquarium Soil, Tropica Specialised Nutrition substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGBII lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (Sodastream CO2 running ~7 hours/day) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase Biomaster 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
