Conchoidal Uprising

A large aquarium layout featuring Conchoidal Uprising, 225L, by Vinny Anderson. Black Obsidian and Sand set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (Black Obsidian, Sand) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Rotala H'ra, Rotala OJ, Rotala Blood Red, Rotala Bossii) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.

Chihiros WRGB II lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Biomaster Thermo 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With RED NEON BLUE EYE RAINBOWFISH (PSEUDOMUGIL LUMINATUS), watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
