A large aquarium layout featuring Fitzcarraldo, 180 L (47.6 gal.), Dutch style, by Florian Friedrich Bergerhoff. The composition is built around one piece of driftwood under bucephalandra.
Read the stone and wood (one piece of driftwood under bucephalandra) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 11 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Sand 0.8mm substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
59W, 4.250lm, 8h/day lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (CO₂ 15 ppm, without night shutdown) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. external canister filter, ceramic hollow body media filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
