Forgotten Innocence

A nano tank layout featuring Forgotten Innocence, 15.14 L, by Luke Boehnlein. The hardscape focus sits on Elephant Stone, Black Forest Spiderwood.

Hardscape (Elephant Stone, Black Forest Spiderwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Anubias Barteri Petite Round, Vesicularia Montagnei, Vesicularia Ferriei, Hydrocotyle Tripartita) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. UNS Controsoil Black substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros C II RGB lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Mighty Aquarium HOB Filter MG04 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
