A nano tank layout featuring Lobelia trees, 15 L (4.0 gal.), Paludarium style, by Domenico Sabatino. The composition is built around Vulcan stone with driftwood.
The hardscape with Vulcan stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 19 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. JBL Volcano Mineral, Tetra active substrate, Ada Amazonia2, Ada bacter100, Alxyon V1. substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Skylight Hyperbar H60 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (Pressurized co2 injection, Neo diffuser) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim classic 250, Aquael mini filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
