Driftwood spring

A large aquarium layout featuring Driftwood spring, 242.9L, by Hugo Liao. The hardscape focus sits on Horn wood、Dragon stone.

The hardscape with Horn wood、Dragon stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Glossostigma elatinoides、Anubias barteri var. nana(mini)、Bolbitis heudelotii、Rotala rotundifolia var. gontin、 Eleocharis "parvula" sp、Willow Moss、Weeping Moss、Bucephalandra、Micranthemum Tweediei 'Monte Carlo' — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes.

Life Aqua Prime Pro 1200 Ex lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. arine dc pump 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.

With Cardinal Tetra, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
