Jungle Puddle

A nano tank layout featuring Jungle Puddle, 31 L, by Adrian Myers. The composition is built around Frodo stone with Neptune wood.

Read the stone and wood (Frodo stone, Neptune wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Taxiphyllum barbieri, Taxiphyllum spiky, Taxiphyllum weeping — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Ada Mekong sand, Ada aqua gravel, dennerle rio xingu gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Ada solar rgb lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Ada superjet es-300 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 Collection.
