Leap

A large aquarium layout featuring Leap, 240 L, by TrịNh Hạ Lễ. The composition is built around Driffwood.

Hardscape (Driffwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Nymphaea lotus, Eleocharis acicularis, Nymphoides aquatica — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

week ark a 430 x 2 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. eheim pro 4 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
