A nano tank layout featuring Calm, 24 L, by Adam Dziadek. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu Stone.
Hardscape (Seiryu Stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Eleocharis pusilla, Eleocharis acicularis, Juncus repens, Riccardia chamedryfolia) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA Amazonia Ver. 2 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros C2 RGB lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Eden 511 thermo filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.
With Microdevario kubotai, Neocaridina davidi, Clithon corona, watch bioload: a nano tank drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
