A large aquarium layout featuring Diademed Hill, 200 L, by Tomás Soto. Roots and volcanic rock set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Roots and volcanic rock sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Micranthemum micranthemoides, Hygrophila corymbosa compact, Bolbitis heteroclita difformis (mini) — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Plantmix nutrient substrate substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Week Aqua P900 Pro lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Canister sunsun Hw-304b 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.
