A large aquarium layout featuring Escaping from the Sunrise, 450 L (118.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Marcin Biedal. The composition is built around River Stone with Red Moor Wood.
The hardscape with River Stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 49 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Yokuchi Jiban Soil,
Yokuchi Ganban Power Base, substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
2x Chihiros VIVID 2 130W lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (I'm using 5l pressurized bottle, bubble counter and Co2 ceramic diffuser. I'm dosing 3 bubbles/second.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 1 x Aquael Hypermax 4500 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.
