A small aquarium layout featuring Peaceful (AGA 2025 #1265), 64 L (16.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Kawin Arponiam. The hardscape focus sits on Manten stone.
The hardscape with Manten stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 2 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Rawbaw + Ferka aquabase , Crazy stone soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros Vivid mini lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (CO2 8 hr with light) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Ehiem 2217 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
