A small aquarium layout featuring Maelstrom, 73 L (19.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Jeffrey Miotke. Ohko Stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Ohko Stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 7 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Andisol Aquasoil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Aqualife RGB LED lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (35ppm for duration of lighting period) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase BioMaster 250 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.
