A large aquarium layout featuring Big Dutch, 801.5 L, by Timothy Gross. The hardscape focus sits on Eucalyptus Wood.
Read the stone and wood (Eucalyptus Wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’, Staurogyne repens, Eriocaulon sp. ‘Malayatoor’ — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. CaribSea Super Naturals Peace River, ADA Aquasoil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
3 – Ecotech Radion XR30 G5 Freshwater LED, 35 percent brightness, 12 hours/day lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. 2 – Oase BioMaster Thermo 850 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
