Nature Xscape

A small aquarium layout featuring Nature Xscape, 63 L (16.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Tomáš Eichler. The hardscape focus sits on Slate stone
Red Moor wood
Oak Wood.

Hardscape (Slate stone
Red Moor wood
Oak Wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 14 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia 2
Allfa decoration sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Skylight Hyperbar 60 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (Strideways Professional reductor) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Tetra tec Ex 800plus filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
