Chosen Path

A large aquarium layout featuring Chosen Path, 300L, by Jye Spicer. The composition is built around Elephant Stone with Iron Wood.

The hardscape with Elephant Stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Dwarf Hairgrass, Bolbitis, Trident Java, Java Fern) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Light Screen substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

ADA Solar RGB x2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Netlea Nov2 x2 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (Cardinal Tetra) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
