A nano tank layout featuring Natus ex terra, 4 L (1.1 gal.), Wabi Kusa style, by Bautista Mikael Fonseca Cannuni. Grava de cuarzo multicolor set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Grava de cuarzo multicolor) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 8 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Humus de lombriz al 70%, Turba rubia (Terrafertil) al 30%, musgo sphagnum seco de apoyo substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Tiras led lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (Ninguno) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Ninguno 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.
