Pico dos Marins

A small aquarium layout featuring Pico dos Marins, 58 L, by Felipe De Camargo. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu Stone WFish, Roots Fazenda Submersa, Sand Aqua Pedras.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu Stone WFish, Roots Fazenda Submersa, Sand Aqua Pedras, Natural Gravel Pla…) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Bucephalandra Brownie Phoenix, Rotala rotundifolia, Rotala sp. H’ra, Staurogyne sp.) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Amazônia MBREDA substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB II 45 cm LED luz (45-60 cm, 49 W, 3600 lm) lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Canister Eheim Classic 2213 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Hyphessobrycon elachys, Hyphessobrycon amandae, Paracheirodon simulans, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
