A large aquarium layout featuring Homecoming, 388 L, by Rahul Mukherjee. Driftwood collected from nature set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Driftwood collected from nature) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Micranthemum sp. ‘, Tweedy’, Vesicularia sp. Montagnei — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Aquasoil and decorative sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Skylight Hyperspot FL lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Aquael Ultramax 2000 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.
