A nano tank layout featuring Soggy Plants, 21 L, by Asher Eades. The composition is built around Black lava rocks with spiderwood.
Read the stone and wood (Black lava rocks, spiderwood, ohko wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Ludwigia palustris, rotala macrandra, hygrophila pinnatifida, Vesicularia montagnei) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Fluval stratum, play sand, gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros B30 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Just had a pump for a while but recently got an ASG mini canister filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
