A large aquarium layout featuring Fallen woods in the Nymphaea stream, 357,5 L, by Guillermo Barrientos. The composition is built around Woods and rocks.
Read the stone and wood (Woods and rocks) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Nymphaea lotus red and green, Nymphaea gardneriana, Miryophyllum sp, Echinodorus angustifolia) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. my “old school substrate” as always: mix of clay, peat, humus and gravel (my standarized proportions) covered by gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
4 chihiros A1201 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. FLUVAL 407 + SUNSUN HW3000 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
