A small aquarium layout featuring Long Island, 81 L, by Jérome Rivera. The hardscape focus sits on bois flotté, souche locale (France), Seiryu Stone.
Read the stone and wood (bois flotté/souche locale (France), Seiryu Stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Eleocharis Parvula, blyxa japonica, Roraima milfoil, Hydrocotyle tripartita) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Power Sand, ultum nature controsoil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB2 pro 80 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Oase thermo 250 biomaster filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
