The Returning Breeze

A large aquarium layout featuring The Returning Breeze, 300 L (79.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Lich Do. The hardscape focus sits on Larva rock, driftwood.

Read the stone and wood (Larva rock, driftwood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Controsoil, JBL aquabasis plus substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (30pmm CO2; running 1 hours before lights on and turning off 5 mins before light off) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 2x DIY filter 2500l/h 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.
