Into The Fangorn

A large aquarium layout featuring Into The Fangorn, 300L, by Marcin Biedal. The hardscape focus sits on Yokuchi Jiban Soil.

The hardscape with Yokuchi Jiban Soil sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Bolbitis heudelotii compact) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Frozen foil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

2x Chihiros VIVID 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. 2 x Fluval 407 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With 11 x Hemigrammus Rhodostomus, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 220–320L.
