Melek

A planted aquarium layout featuring Melek, 27 Litros L, by Danilo Calvo. The hardscape focus sits on Madera Natural, Rocas Naturales.

Hardscape (Madera Natural, Rocas Naturales) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Helecho Java mini, Hygrophila Pinnatifida, Anubia Nana petite, Eriocaulon Vietnam) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Amazonia de ADA substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Dos lámparas Jeneca Sc 30 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this planted aquarium. Filtro De Cascada jeneca Xp 07 500 L/H 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.
