A large aquarium layout featuring Katana, 182 L, by Stephano Diaz. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu stone, Hornwood.
The hardscape with Seiryu stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Mini Christmas moss, Mini coral moss, Fissidens nobilis — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Neosoil 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. Oase Biomaster 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (Rummy nose tetra, Otocinclus) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
