A large aquarium layout featuring Footprints of Glaciers, 282 L (74.5 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Gunner Tuttle. The composition is built around Seiryu stone with mountain stone.
Hardscape (Seiryu stone, mountain stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 8 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. UNS Controsoil, UNS Controsand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Week Aqua P 900 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (30ppm running one hour before lights turn on and shutting off one hour before lights turn off. Total running time 6 hours per day.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase Biomaster 600 Thermo filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
