Depth of Split

A large aquarium layout featuring Depth of Split, 180L, by Shajal Chowdhury. The composition is built around Hard scape: Dragon stone..

Read the stone and wood (Hard scape: Dragon stone.) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Cryptocoryne parva, Cryptocoryne Brown, Hydrocotyle Tripartota, Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. White Sticker and DIY back Light. substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros ‘RGB VIVID' lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Canister filter ‘Dophin' filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Harlequin Rasbora.(6 pair), watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 162–220L.
