Hidden Valley

A small aquarium layout featuring Hidden Valley, 65L, by Bruno Fiorenza. The hardscape focus sits on Ada Amazonia V2.

Read the stone and wood (Ada Amazonia V2) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Eleocharis Acicularis MINI) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.

Twinstar 600ES lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Oase Biomaster Thermo 250 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (7 Boraras Brigittae) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Setup notes: Daily Fertilizer whit ADA protocol
