A large aquarium layout featuring Forest canyon, 300L, by Ruben David Ferreira Amaral Do Nascimento. The hardscape focus sits on Tropica aquarium soil, local stones redmoorwood, sand and small gravel.
The hardscape with Tropica aquarium soil sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Rotala orange juice, Rotala h'ra, Rotala green, lobelia cardinalis mini) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Translucent vinil. substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Twinstar iii 900sa lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Sicce whale 500 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (Tetra cardinal 15, cooper tetra 15, apistogramma macmasteri 12) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
