Nature’s Breeze

A nano tank layout featuring Nature’s Breeze, 12 L, by Francisco Gomes. Riverwood and Geo Rocks set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Riverwood, Geo Rocks, ADA La Plata Sand, ADA Aqua Gravel) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Bucephalandra kedagang, Anubias Pangolino, Eleocharis Mini — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Tropica Aquarium Soil with ADA tabs substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros C2 RGB lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Dennerle Scapers Flow filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in Collection.
