Old-Fashioned

A small aquarium layout featuring Old-Fashioned, 53.9L, by Nakayama Tatsuya. The composition is built around Ohko stone.

Read the stone and wood (Ohko stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Micranthemum tweediei ‘Montecarlo’) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. white paper substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros RGB Vivid 2 Mini lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. EHEIM professional3 2075 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
