A small aquarium layout featuring Jumping Off Point, 64.8L, by Ryan Newstrom. The composition is built around Icelandic Lava Rock with Spiderwood.
Hardscape (Icelandic Lava Rock, Spiderwood, ADA Amazonia Aquasoil) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini') favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Lighted White Cardboard substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros RGB II Pro 60 CM, lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Oase Biomaster 350, Seachem Matrix, Purigen filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
With Sundadanio Axelrodi – 16, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
