Eternal

A large aquarium layout featuring Eternal, 192 L (50.7 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Davi Araneo. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu Stone, Root.

The hardscape with Seiryu Stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 14 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. PlantPro substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Netlea Ats 5120s lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (~38ppm) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim 3x 2215 + 1x Professional 4+ 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
