Lost Sanctuary

A large aquarium layout featuring Lost Sanctuary, 189.271 L, by Fritz Shann Lee Rabaya. Local Pagatpat driftwood and Local river stones set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Local Pagatpat driftwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Hemianthus callitrichoides, Hemianthus micranthemoides, Taxiphyllum sp. &#8216, Flame Moss&#8217) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA Amazonia Version 2, Dymax Cosmetic Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros A901, Chihiros WRGB60 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Sunsun 604B, Xilong XL 804D filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Hemigrammus erythrozonus, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
