Gruta da Lapa Doce (AGA 2024 #152)

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Gruta da Lapa Doce (AGA 2024 #152), 108L L, by Fernando Moraes. Rochas Dragon Stone e areia cosmética set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Rochas Dragon Stone e areia cosmética) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Rotala Green, Rotala Sp Francisco, Staurugine, Hidrocotile tripartita mini) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Amazônia Mbreda substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros Wrgb2 Pro lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Canister ZrDr filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
