Pride Rock

A small aquarium layout featuring Pride Rock, 60L, by Kevin Chuang. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu Stone.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu Stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Utricularia Graminifolia — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. LED light screen substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros Vivid II lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Oase Biomaster 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (Ember Tetra) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Scroll to the specs table to match each equipment line; more inspiration in 55–80L.
