In dreams

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring In dreams, 128L, by Luis Miguel Benito Yague. The composition is built around Rocay madera autoctona.

The hardscape with Rocay madera autoctona sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubia petite, Vallisneria nana, Microsorum pteropus "trident" — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes.

130w led lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. 1000 l/h 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 (rasbora dorsiocellata, corydora paleatus, gamba neocaridina) fits this mid-size aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 80–162L.
