Legacy

A small aquarium layout featuring Legacy, 86.4 L, by Ivo Menezes. The composition is built around Seiryu Stone 25kg with La Plata Sand ADA.

The hardscape with Seiryu Stone 25kg sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Alternanthera reineckii &#8220, splendida”, Anubia barteri var. “nana mini coin”, Anubia barteri var. “nana petite”) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver. 2, Power Sand Advance S ADA substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros DYRGBA 601 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Canister EHEIM ecco pro 300 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (Hyphessobrycon amandae, Hemigrammus erythrozonus, Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
