Elevation Trail

A nano tank layout featuring Elevation Trail, 36.45 L, by Sasiprasad Ettuveettil. The composition is built around Dragon stone.

The hardscape with 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 Rotala rotundifolia and macrandra, Mosses, Hygrophila pinatifda — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Amazonia soil, golden yellow sand, Driftwood , Honey whole dragon wood substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Hygger 24/7 HG990 led light lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. No filteration 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.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 28–55L.
