If You Go There

A large aquarium layout featuring If You Go There, 182.2L, by Jeon Hyoungjoo. The composition is built around Dragon stone with Driftwood.

The hardscape with Dragon stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Bolbitis Heudelotii, Didiplis diandra, Helanthium tenerum 'Green', Hydrocotyle tripartita 'Mini') favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. None substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

LED 115W lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Ehein 2213 X 2 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 (Pristella maxillaris) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Setup notes: Aquario Soil, Laplata Sand
