Emerald Sanctuary

A large aquarium layout featuring Emerald Sanctuary, 360 L (95.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Marco Iskandar. The composition is built around Wood with turli stone.

The hardscape with Wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 14 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Soil, power sand ADA and 3 elements ADA substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB2 PRO lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (50 ppm, running 24 hours) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 2x fluval 407 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in Over 320L.
