A nano tank layout featuring Emerald Wilds, 5 L (1.3 gal.), Paludarium style, by Agnieszka Schoeneck. The composition is built around Horn Wood with Akaishi Stone.
The hardscape with Horn Wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 15 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia Soil, ADA Colorado Sand, Gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Paluda Light lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
