Eternity

A large aquarium layout featuring Eternity, 243L, by Marcelo Takeno. Substrate ADA Amazônia set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Substrate ADA Amazônia sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Hydrocotyle tripartita mini — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. white paper behind substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Maxpect Pro Razor 175W lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. 1 Filter JBL Cristal Profi filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.

With 30 Hemigrammus Rhodostomus, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
