Heart of the Canyon

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Heart of the Canyon, 132.7L, by Titas Das. Dragon stone and ADA ver. 2 aquasoil set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Dragon stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Hemianthus Callitrichoides Cuba, Taxiphyllum sp. Peacock, Riccardia Chamedryfolia, Fissidens Crispulus) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. White Vinyl substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

1 × Chihiros WRGB 2 pro 80cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Canister Filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With 7Ember Tetra, 5 Green Neon Tetra, watch bioload: a mid-size aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
