HIBERNATION

A small aquarium layout featuring HIBERNATION, 61.4L, by Richard San Miguel. The composition is built around Seiryu stones with twigs.

The hardscape with Seiryu stones sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Micranthemum tweediei, Utricularia Graminifolia, mexicana goias, echinodorus tenellus) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. foam board with drawing substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

week aqua and small light lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. eheim professional filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.

With Boraras brigittae, otocinclus, Siamese algae eater, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
