A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Down to earth, 110.5L, by Johann Germano Fernandes. The composition is built around Quartz sand with driftwood.
The hardscape with Quartz sand sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Anubias nana petite and gold, Java ferns needle, bucephalandra crocodile land) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Black substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Led lighting- lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Canister 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.
Livestock (Neon tetras-16, 5- ember tetras) fits this mid-size aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
