Corners of Life

A nano tank layout featuring Corners of Life, 2 L, by William Fantini. Strideways Geo Rocks and Aquaristica Beached Wood set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Strideways Geo Rocks sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as Rotala colorata, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Myriophyllum roraima — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. DOOA Jungle soil, ADA La Plata Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

ONF Plus Nano lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. No filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
