A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Petrified, 140 L, by Daniel Basseto. The composition is built around Ryuoh and Seiryu Stones.
Hardscape (Ryuoh and Seiryu Stones) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Micranthemum sp. ‘, Monte Carlo’, Marsilea hirsuta, Eleocharis mínima) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Aqua Growth Soil Prodibio substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Aqualumini 80cm lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Eheim Canister 2215 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
Livestock (Hyphessobrycon amandae, Paracheirodon axelrodi, Hyphessobrycon negodagua) fits this mid-size aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
