Crimson Rock

A nano tank layout featuring Crimson Rock, 39 L (10.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Styrbjörn Käll. The hardscape focus sits on Local stone.

Read the stone and wood (Local stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 8 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Tropica Aquarium Soil, tropica substrate substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros A251 lighting sits at a high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (Sodastream 6 hours per day) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Fluval 107 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore Under 28L.
