Caldera

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Caldera, 126 L, by Tresna Wiguna. The hardscape focus sits on Lava rock.

The hardscape with Lava rock sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Rotala hra, rotala rotun green, hemiantus micranthemoides (air mata bayi), ludwigia arcuata) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Platinum soil by jun substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb slim lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Atman 3338s filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
