A nano tank layout featuring Resilience (AGA 2023 #288), 9L, by Iara Parisi. Substrate: Eco-complete substrate and Sand set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Substrate: Eco-complete substrate and Sand) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Utricularia graminifolia) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.
Twinstar 600 E – RGB Led lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. No filtration – Water changes once a week 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.
With no animals, watch bioload: a nano tank drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
Setup notes: The scape is now 2 years and a half old since set up.
