A large aquarium layout featuring MANGKOL, 225L, by SANSAN ZO. cemara roots and santigi roots set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with cemara roots sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (us fisiden moss, ricardia moss, flame moss, buche palandra) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. backlight substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
hpl 140 watt diy lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. canister 2000 lh diy filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
Livestock (13 yellow tetra sp) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
