A large aquarium layout featuring Hidden aquatic realms, 500 L (132.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Benjamin Stofferus. Dragon Stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Dragon Stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 20 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Ada Amazonia substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ADA solar rgb x 2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (2 hours before light goes on, 1hour before light goes off. 30ppm) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase 850 x 2 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
