Green flow

A nano tank layout featuring Green flow, 35 L, by Grzegorz Ziomek. Sansui Stones set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Sansui Stones) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Hemiantus callitichoides „Cuba“, Micranthemum tweediei „Montecarlo“, Marsilea crenata, Marsilea hrisuta) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA Amazonia Soil, ADA Power Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. JBL 402e filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 28–55L.
