Forest Origins

A small aquarium layout featuring Forest Origins, 64 L (16.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Pornsan Phuthong. The hardscape focus sits on Thai stone, Timber.

Hardscape (Thai stone, Timber) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Pumice stone, Crazy Stone Amazon Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Diy Led 3w lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (CO2 canister with two bubbles per second) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. eheim 2213, Neo Media Soft filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
