A small aquarium layout featuring Portuguese Legacy, 57.6L, by JOHNY ANDRES MEJIA RAMIREZ. The composition is built around Local Driftwood with brick slag.
Hardscape (Local Driftwood, brick slag, nutritive substrat) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Christmas Moss Vesicularia montagnei, Java Moss Taxiphyllum Barbieri, Fissidens Fontanus Phoenix Moss — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. mirror paper substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
14W RGB Hygger Light, 6 hours lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. ASE FiltoSmart 60, Odisea Clean 100 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (8 Rasbora Galaxy Danio margaritatus) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
