Mother Crown

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Mother Crown, 162 L, by Angga Raditya. Local drift wood and Black lava rock set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Local drift wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Eleocharis acicularis, Eleocharis parvula, Helanthium tenellum, Hydrocotyle verticillata) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Indoneisa Local brand Substrate substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Kandila Proscape WRGB 90cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. 2 External Canister Local Brand, 1400LPH & 800LPH filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
