A large aquarium layout featuring Masons Playground, 190 L, by James Plemmons. The composition is built around Seriyu stone with Black Forest driftwood.
Read the stone and wood (Seriyu stone, Black Forest driftwood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Eleocharis acicularis ‘Mini’, Marsilea hirsuta, Marsilea minute, Anubias barteri ‘) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Tropica aquasoil, Pisces USA iwagumi sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Twinstar 900E lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Oase Biomaster thermo 850 and 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
