Éden

A large aquarium layout featuring Éden, 198 L (52.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Daniel Henrique Basseto. Ryuoh and Seiryu Stones set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Ryuoh and Seiryu Stones sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 18 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, Prodibio Aquagrowth Soil, ADA Aqua Gravel, ADA La Plata Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Aqualumini Solarium 80cm 240W lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (~50ppm CO2, running 1h before lights on and turning off 1h before lights off) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim 2215 Canister Filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 162–220L.
