Oztotl

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Oztotl, 118L, by Roberto Villalobos Sánchez. The planting revolves around Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo'.

The plant list (Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo') favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. White wall substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

1 Twinstar 900 III SP lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. 1 Fluval 207 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
