Noah’s ark

A nano tank layout featuring Noah’s ark, 22 L (5.8 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Prashant Pundeer. dragon stone and koke stone set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (dragon stone, koke stone, knife stone, drift wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 4 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Amazonia aqua soil, sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

RGB LED lights lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (no CO2) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Bubble filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
