Longbow

A nano tank layout featuring Longbow, 9.5 L, by Justin Schiess. The hardscape focus sits on Rhino stone, driftwood.

Read the stone and wood (Rhino stone, driftwood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Eleocharis acicularis, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, Anubias nana &#8216 — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. UNS controsoil, ADA La Plata sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros C II RGB LED lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Zoomed Nano 10 canister filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.
