FLOW (AGA 2024 #245)

A small aquarium layout featuring FLOW (AGA 2024 #245), 70.2 L, by Robi Chen. Turly Stone and Santigi Wood set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Turly Stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Rotala rotundifolia &#8220, Orange Juice&#8221, Rotala rotundifolia Green, Rotala H&#8217) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Neo Soil Compact substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros C II RGB, Chihiros C II, Chihiros A601 Series lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Eheim Classic 2213, Hopar HF 1108 Filter Canister External filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Amandae Tetra, Rummy Nose Tetra, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 55–80L.
