Green way

A nano tank layout featuring Green way, 19 L (5.0 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Christian Kischnick. The hardscape focus sits on Moorwood, drachenstein.

Read the stone and wood (Moorwood, drachenstein) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 8 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Jbl Volcano Mineral, tropica soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros c2 rgb lighting sits at a high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (25mg/l 6h) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Jbl e402 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.

Scroll to the specs table to match each equipment line; more inspiration in Under 28L.
