My lost world in te roots

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring My lost world in te roots, 100 L, by Martin Vajs. The composition is built around Seiryu Stone with Mangrove wood.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu Stone, Mangrove wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Alternanthera reineckii mini, Anubias barteri nana, Bucephalandra pygmaea Bukit Kelam — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA Aquaforest/freshwater Life Bio Media, Dennerle Depot – Mix Profesional 10 in 1, Tropica Aquarium Soil powder 1-2 mm Aqua gravel 3-6 mm, ADA La Plata sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Skylight hyperspot FS lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Oase biomaster Thermo 350 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.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 80–162L.
