Ireland Dream

A nano tank layout featuring Ireland Dream, 36L, by Rumen Ganchev. The planting revolves around Ricardia sp. Chamedryfolia.

On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Ricardia sp. Chamedryfolia — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes.

Twinstar E450 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. JBL Crystal Profi e702 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 28–55L.
