A small aquarium layout featuring Dragon (AGA 2023 #479), 86L, by Jiří Pova. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu stone black.
The hardscape with Seiryu stone black sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as eleocharis acicularis mini — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. light screen 60×36 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB II SLIM 60 45W lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. OASE 850 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
