Perseverancia (AGA 2025 #1023)

A large aquarium layout featuring Perseverancia (AGA 2025 #1023), 300 L (79.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Sergio Martín Dominguez. The hardscape focus sits on jarilla roots and lava rocks from Argentina.

Hardscape (jarilla roots and lava rocks from Argentina) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 26 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. fluval stratum and lava soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

4 bulb lamps grow rendition 3800k lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (40 ppm CO² , running 2 hours before lights on and turning off 1 hour before lights out) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. sunsun hw-3000 canister filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
