A large aquarium layout featuring Beyond Silence, 202 L (53.4 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Phuc Pham. The composition is built around driftwood piece with sedimentary rock.
The hardscape with driftwood piece sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 14 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia Ver .2, ADA Power Sand Advance substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Week ARK – A430 Pro lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (CO2 with 15b/s full day) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. DIY External filter 25w filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
