A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Flood is coming! Small igarape near Barcelos, Rio Negro, Brazil, 115L, by Valeriy Shylenko. Standout plants include Aquatic: none.
On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Aquatic: none — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. light blue cardboard behind substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
2 Led lamps (6500 K) x20 Wt, daytime period – 13 hours (12:00-01:00) lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. internal filters SunSun HJ-311B and SunSun HJ-111B, both filled with Pachira and Anthurium leaves and used for creating water flow and faster tannin release 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.
