A large aquarium layout featuring Broken, 180 L (47.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Alberth Sepúlveda. The composition is built around Roca de lava negra with Dragonwood.
Hardscape (Roca de lava negra, Dragonwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Deacua substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB x 2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (30ppm con ph controller, 24/7) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase biomaster 350 x 2 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.
