A large aquarium layout featuring Gideon’s Cave, 180L, by Udi Ben zvi. The composition is built around Seiryu Stone with dragon wood.

On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Peacock Moss, weeping moss, Riccardia chamedryfolia moss — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. black paint substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros wrgb2 pro 90 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. 2 * JBL CRISTALPROFI e1502 greenline filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (Green Neon Tetra, Ember Tetra, Black Darter Tetra) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
