A large aquarium layout featuring Green world, 182 L (48.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by HUGO LIAO. The hardscape focus sits on Sunken wood, Shale.
Hardscape (Sunken wood, Shale) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 1 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ISTA black soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Aqua Prime Pro lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (CO2 3 bubbles per second) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. arine dc pump filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
