A small aquarium layout featuring Crown Shyness, 61.2L, by Omar Abdulaziz Uthman. Standout plants include dwarf hairgrass.
On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as dwarf hairgrass — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. no background substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
45 lumens per litre lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. canister filter 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.
