Future forest

A large aquarium layout featuring Future forest, 180L, by Svajunas Ablingis. The hardscape focus sits on No soil, lava rocks, drift wood.

Hardscape (No soil, lava rocks, drift wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Christmas moss, weaping moss, java moss — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. White substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb2 90cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Oase biomaster 600 thermo filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Tetra, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Setup notes: There is mote moss but sadly dont remember
