Rainforest

A large aquarium layout featuring Rainforest, 360 L (95.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Vishnuvarthan P. The hardscape focus sits on Lava rock, Driftwood.

The hardscape with Lava rock sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 15 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia V2 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros Vivid 2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (30ppm Co2, running 2hrs before photoperiod starts and turns off 1hr before photoperiod ends.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Sunsun 304B filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore Over 320L.
