A large aquarium layout featuring Nature Paradise, 180L, by Rafael Souza. The hardscape focus sits on Substrato Amazônia Mbreda.
Hardscape (Substrato Amazônia Mbreda) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Anubia barteri nana, Anubia lanceolata, Cryptocoryne spirallis, Echinodorus amazonicus) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.
Iluminação led de fabricação caseira lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Filtro caninster Aleas 1.300 litros/hora 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 Pterophyllum Scalare, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: Duas trocas parciais de água semanal + fertilização diária com fertilizantes Mbreda.
