A large aquarium layout featuring Forest of Memory, 202.5L L, by Han-Hsuan Chen. The hardscape focus sits on Materials Local Driftwood, Local Stones.
The hardscape with Materials Local Driftwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Limnophila sp. ‘, South America’, Myriophyllum spicatum from Philippines, Microsorium pteropus ‘) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. White Sand, Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Hagen T5 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Tetra Ex-120 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.
Livestock (Hemigrammus rhodostomus) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
