Imaginarium

A small aquarium layout featuring Imaginarium, 64 L (16.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Francisco Alexandre dos Santos Gomes. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu stone.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia Ver.2, ADA Power Sand,
ADA La Plata Sand, ADA Aqua Gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros Vivid ll lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (30ppm running 9 hours) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Fluval 307 with Seachem Matrix, Seachem Purigen and ADA Tourmaline F filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 55–80L.
