A small aquarium layout featuring Little big worls, 45 L, by Thomas Oreskov. The hardscape focus sits on Blue manten stone ( ADA ).
Hardscape (Blue manten stone ( ADA )) 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 Eleocharis Pusilla, Eleocharis Acicularis, Eleocharis Vivipara — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA power sand advance, ADA Amazonia Soil powder, ADA La plata sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB Pro 60 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. OASE BIOMASTER 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
