Primeval jungle

A nano tank layout featuring Primeval jungle, 3 L, by Jusal Quanico. Dragonstone and spiderwood set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Dragonstone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Dionaea muscipula, Drosera capensis, Drosera adelae — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Peat, sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros B20 on a handmade stand lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. None filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.
