A nano tank layout featuring Home Bog, 7.6L, by Sandeep Rao. ADA Amazonia and black lava rock set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (ADA Amazonia, black lava rock, Malaysian driftwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Hydrocortyle tripartita Japan mini, Helathium tenellum Green, Christmas moss, terrarium fern) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Frozen background substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ONF flat nano lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Small 5w powerhead in a plastic basket filled with matrix 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.
Livestock (Springtails) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
