Green forest

A nano tank layout featuring Green forest, 25L, by Aditia eko saputro. Turly rock and rasamala wood set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Turly rock, rasamala wood, soil) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Bucephalandra, weeping moss, fissiden moss — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Backlight white substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB II slim lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Sump filter behind the tank filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.

With Amandae fish, red cherry shrimps, watch bioload: a nano tank drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Setup notes: Inspired by jungle and lake scenes in real life; green tones bring a lively feel.
