A small aquarium layout featuring Insomnio (AGA 2024 #307), 48 L, by Juan Bedoya Vasquez. Madera local y roca local set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Madera local y roca local sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Montecarlo, Flame moss, weeping moss — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Antracita y arenon substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Fluval plant 2 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Up aqua 500L/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.
