Path to The Peak

A large aquarium layout featuring Path to The Peak, 242.9L, by TAI WHYE MUN ALEX. The planting revolves around Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo'.

On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo' — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Led background substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

ADA Solar RGB x 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Oase Biomaster 850 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 220–320L.
