Lucerna

A small aquarium layout featuring Lucerna, 64 L (16.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Oscar Ruipérez López. The hardscape focus sits on Opuwa Wood, River Dragon Stone..

Read the stone and wood (Opuwa Wood, River Dragon Stone.) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 13 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. AquaRIO Neo Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros CII RGB lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (Running 1 hour before light on and turning off 30 minutes before light out.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase BioMaster Thermo 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 55–80L.
