Heralds Autumn

A large aquarium layout featuring Heralds Autumn, 300L, by Lin Jing. Driftwood and Lava Stone set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Driftwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (bolbitis heudelotii, Anubias, Anubias nana, Nymphaea lotus var.viridis) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. NIL substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

CHIHIROS RGB LED 110W x 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. EHEIM 2078 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (Cheircodco axclrodi, Hyphessobrycon elachys, Hemigrammus bleheri) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Setup notes: WATER CHANGE IS IMPORTANT
