A small aquarium layout featuring HUTAN KALIMBOAN, 54L, by MATHEUS THEO FENANLAMPIR. The composition is built around Kayu with batu.

On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Moss ricardia — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Stiker kaca putih substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

With [Cherry prawn, horn snail and rasborahngly fish] Udang ceri, keong tanduk dan ikan rasborahngly, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: [I made this theme because the forest in my village has many large trees thousands of years old and brings together several villages gardening in the location of the kalimboan garden or kalimboan forest. So my childhood often used to go to the garden or to the forest and it is still natural and maintained by the local community. Hopefully this work can inspire all of you.]
