Requiem

A large aquarium layout featuring Requiem, 429 L (113.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Miguel Angel García Plágaro. The composition is built around Locally sourced woods and stones with non-commercial.

Hardscape (Locally sourced woods and stones, non-commercial) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. Akadama substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Power LED DIY lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (4b/sg) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Fluval FX6 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in Over 320L.
