Impact

A planted aquarium layout featuring Impact, ` L, by Jonathan Gevaert. Honeycomb wood and Black lava set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Honeycomb wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Batang ai (moss), Bucephalandra sp. (mix), Crepidomanes sp, Cryptocoryne parva) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Ada la plata sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb 2 pro lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this planted aquarium. Netlea canister filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 28–55L.
