A small aquarium layout featuring Dempes Kaliwiro, 54 L, by Ariff Vevo. Suren Wood and Cemara root set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Suren Wood, Cemara root, Rasamala Root) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Willow, mini cristmas, ricardia moss — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. One Research 3 in 1 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Cihiros lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Atman 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.
