Rain´s whispers

A large aquarium layout featuring Rain´s whispers, 350 L, by Salvador Macías Torres. Rivers boulders of Málaga and pizarra estone of Málaga set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Rivers boulders of Málaga, pizarra estone of Málaga, red moor, rasamala black, d…) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Micranthemum Monte Carlo, Micranthemum Callitrichoides “cuba”, Lagenandra Meeboldii red, Bucephalandras sp.) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Neo Soil Plants substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB 2 pro lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Fluval FX6, Siice pump and Oase skimmer 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
