“Last colors before winter”

A large aquarium layout featuring “Last colors before winter”, 180L, by Rodolfo Provenzano. Substrate: Neo Rio set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (Substrate: Neo Rio) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Anubia barteri var. nana 'Bonsai') favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.

Week Aqua L-Series L900 RGB+UV lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Oase BioMaster Thermo 850 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With 20 Rasbora hengeli, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
