A small aquarium layout featuring Peaceful (AGA 2025 #1215), 77 L (20.3 gal.), Paludarium style, by Wasin Lertpornchaimongkol. The hardscape focus sits on Local wood + river rock.
Hardscape (Local wood + river rock) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 8 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA set substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros wrgbII 10th lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (Co2 3-4bubber / sec.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
