bloom (AGA 2023 #254)

A small aquarium layout featuring bloom (AGA 2023 #254), 64.8L, by taegi yoon. blue dragon stone set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with blue dragon stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Micranthemum 'montecarlo' Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini' Straugyne repens Pogostemon helferi Cryptocoryne parva Bucephalandra Hygrophila pinnatifida Rotala green Rotala `yellow` indonesia Rotala 'Vietnam H'ra' Ludwigia ovalis) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. no substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

twinstar light lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. QQ1000 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (Hyphessobrycon amandae) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Setup notes: I wanted to express the scent of the spring hill.

Scroll to the specs table to match each equipment line; more inspiration in 55–80L.
