Dragon Hils

A large aquarium layout featuring Dragon Hils, 310 L, by Michał Jaskowiak. Dragon stone set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Dragon stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as China moss (Vesicularia sp.), Quell willow moss (Fontinalis hypnoides), Spiky moss (Taxiphyllum sp.) — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Maflora intense substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

SkyLight L lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim + Aquael 1500 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.
