Kojima Island

A nano tank layout featuring Kojima Island, 18.7 L, by Md Sanaul Hoque Shuvro. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu rock.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu rock) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Micranthemum tweediei &#8216, Monte Carlo&#8217, Eleocharis parvula sp. &#8216 — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA Amazonia V2, ADA Powersand advance S substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Netlea AT5 545s WRGB 45cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Atman HK 0400 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.
