A mid-size aquarium layout featuring moon haven, 108L, by Fernando Moraes. The hardscape focus sits on Rochas Dragons Stoner, Substrato fértil Amazônia Mbreda, Areia colorado.
The hardscape with Rochas Dragons Stoner sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Rotala Green, Rotala Hra, Hemiantus caliteicheides (cuba), Staurugine repens) favors background stem plants; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Tecido Branco substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Cub F ecolamps lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Canister DrZr 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.
With Paracheirodon simulans, watch bioload: a mid-size aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: Fertilização Mbreda.
