Dragon’s Back

A large aquarium layout featuring Dragon’s Back, 300 L (79.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by yuki nakata. The composition is built around Driftwood、
yellow tiger stone.

Hardscape (Driftwood、
yellow tiger stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 23 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia 、
Power Sand Advance M substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

ADA Solar RGB lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (3 drops per second for 8 hours) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim 2217 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
