A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Island Plant, 150 L, by Rotaru Ciprian. The composition is built around Reed More and Dragon Stone.
Hardscape (Reed More and Dragon Stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Hygrophila Pinnatifida, Hygrophila Polysperma, Alternanthera Reineckii mini — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Inert 2-4 mm Evidecor substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros Wrgb2 90 cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Jbl1502+Sun Sun Hw403A filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
