A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Creek Shadows, Gorge Light, 158 L, by Tianxu Yang. The composition is built around seiryu stone.
The hardscape with seiryu stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Rotala rotundifolia H’, Rotala rotundifolia Green, Rotala Orange Juice, Rotala wallichii ‘) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA AQUA Soil Amazonia Version2, ADA Power Sand Advance substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
CHIHIROS RGB VIVID II 10TH EDITION lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. BioMaster Thermo 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (Green Neon Tetra, Gold white cloud, Glass bloodfin) fits this mid-size aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
