A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Crimson Horizon, 160 L (42.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Rafael Arthur Gouveia Bartoletti. Seiryu stone set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Seiryu stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 15 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Plant Pro Prime Soil, La Plata Ada substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Plant pro 900 Wfish lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. CO₂ (aprox. 30 ppm) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Fluval 407 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
