Extend

A nano tank layout featuring Extend, 18 L, by Hyoungjoo Jeon. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu Stone, Driftwood.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu Stone, Driftwood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Bucephalandra sp., Hygrophila lancea &#8216, Araguaia&#8217, Limnphila sp. &#8216) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Aquario NO CO2 Soil, Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Led 22W lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Hangon Type 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.
