Senggani Root.
Read the stone and wood (Cricket Stone
Rasamalla Wood
Senggani Root) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 12 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Ultimate Soil by Aquajaya
Pearl Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Kandila S 300 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (28 PPM turning on 2 hours before lighting & 1 hours off before off light.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Amara 502, Hang on Filter 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.
