IRAN

A large aquarium layout featuring IRAN, 300 L, by Ali Rezaee. The composition is built around Wood and rack.

Hardscape (Wood and rack) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Hemisnthus cuba Schismatoglottis prietoi Bucephalandra brownie ghost Eleocharis pusilla Marsilea hirsute Eleocharis acicularis Hygrophila pinnatifida Bucephalandra brownie purple Ranunculus inundated Rotala indica bonsai Anubias barteri mini coin Bucephalandra sp needle leaf Eleocharis montevidensis Bucephalandra bukit kelam Bucephalandra sp red Weeping Moss Bolbitis heudelotii Hydrocotyle tripartite Taxiphyllum alternans taiwan moss Taxiphyllum sp flame moss Monte carlo — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Amazonia substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb2 pro lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim professional 5e filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
