A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Nature Submersa, 112L, by Jose Matias Sanchez. ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia and WIO Heaven Sand set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Rotala Green, Hemianthus Callitrichoides, Anubia Nana Bonzai — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. white background substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB II 90 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. JBL CristalProfi e902 L/H greenline, Eheim Skim 350 (skimmer) filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (Paracheirodon axelrodi) fits this mid-size aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Setup notes: Maintenance: 50% weekly water change
