A large aquarium layout featuring Dive into the Jungle, 188.7L, by NILOY SENGUPTA. Ada Amazonia V1 & 2 and black lava rock set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Ada Amazonia V1 & 2, black lava rock, driftwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (MICRANTHEMUM "MONTE CARLO, HC Cuba, Eleocharis Parvula, Eleocharis vivipara) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. White Vinyl and extra white led in the background substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
1 Chihiros WRGB 2 pro 60cm & 1 Neo helios XP800 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim classic 600, Sunsun 303A filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
With Swabwa Rasbora, rummynose rasbora, Siamese Algae eater, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: I'm a frequent traveller and used to do lots of treks in eastern Himalayan region. Inspiration of this scapes comes from one of the photos I took during my one of my treks. Hence this aquascape is close to my heart❤
