Dragon Eyes

A small aquarium layout featuring Dragon Eyes, 63 L, by Róbert Babič. Iron Wood and Dragon Stones set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Iron Wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Anubias Nana Bonsai, Anubias Congesis, Anubias Petite, Bucephalandra wawy Green) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Tropica Soil, ADA La Plata Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros A501 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. JBL Cristalprofi e702 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
