Riversand sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 5 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Vanilla Terra by Aquair substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Vivaria P45 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (No) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Undergravel 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.
