A mid-size aquarium layout featuring BRUMA, 160 L, by Juan Tambornino. LAVA STONE AND LOGS COLLECTED IN SOUTHERN ARGENTINA set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with LAVA STONE AND LOGS COLLECTED IN SOUTHERN ARGENTINA sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Micranthemum tweediei ‘Monte Carlo’, Cryptocoryne sp., Cryptocoryne Tropica red, Hemianthus callitrichoides ‘) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. LIGHT BLUE CARDBOARD substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ITRON LED FULL SPECTRUM 100 CM Y BLAU STANDAR 80 CM lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. ATMAN 3338 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
Livestock (Paracheirodon innesi (30), Boraras maculatus (10), Neocaridina davidi (50)) fits this mid-size aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
