A large aquarium layout featuring Fireworks, 300L, by Yorokobido Yamaguchi. The hardscape focus sits on Fossil wood.
The hardscape with Fossil wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Glossostigma elatinoides — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Black paint substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros LED VIVID2 ×2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Tetra Value X Power Filter VX-120 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
With Cardinal Tetra, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: This work was produced with a composition looking up from the bottom of the water surrounded by rocks to the fish spreading out on the surface like fireworks.
