A small aquarium layout featuring Crystal Lake, 64 L (16.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Natthasit Khunthong. Local Driftwood and Local Stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Local Driftwood, Local Stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 24 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Crazy Stone,Raw Base substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB2 10TH lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (3 Bubbles per Sec, 24Hr.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Atman filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
