A nano tank layout featuring Pangolino Bonsai, 35L, by Vinny Anderson. The hardscape focus sits on Spiderwood, Seriyu Stone.
The hardscape with Spiderwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Anubias pangolino, bucephalandra, crepidomanes malabaricum, monte carlo) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Frosted substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Twinstar 450E lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. HOB 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.
Livestock (Silver tip Tetra, Ruby Tetra, Tangerine Tiger Shrimp) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 28–55L.
