Great Wave

A large aquarium layout featuring Great Wave, 324 L, by Luis Galarraga. Dragon wood and Yosei stones set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Dragon wood, Yosei stones) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Micranthemum Monte Carlo, Glossostigma elatinoides, Litorella uniflora, Eleocharis minima) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA Aquasoil Amazonia, ADA Power Sand M, ADA La Plata Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

2 X Netlea NL580L lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. ADA Super Jet 1200 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 (Hyphessobrycon elachys, Trigonostigma hengeli, Nannostomus marginatus) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
