Butchart Garden

A large aquarium layout featuring Butchart Garden, 450L, by Cheattha Sae Teaw. The planting revolves around 1.Bacopa colorata.

The plant list (1.Bacopa colorata) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Black substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB 120 1 set with full mode (100% all colors) 11 hours per day lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Canister : Crazy Stone CS-1400 1 set with Crazy stone small glass ring media filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
