A nano tank layout featuring Green Path, 27 L (7.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Wasin Lertpornchaimongkol. Lava rock and local wood set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Lava rock and local wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 13 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA set substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros wrgb II 10th lighting sits at a high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (Co2 3-4bubble/sec. , open before light on 1 hrs. and close before light off 1 hrs.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Ehiem2213 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.
