A large aquarium layout featuring Resilient Nature, 450L, by Sergio Martín Dominguez. The hardscape focus sits on Volcanic gravel, Aquarium Soil "Cay Soil", jarilla roots.
Hardscape (Volcanic gravel, Aquarium Soil "Cay Soil", jarilla roots) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Microsrum Pteropus, Microsorum Narrow Leaf, Anubia Barteri Nana, Anubia Barteri Nana Petit) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.
custom made lights units with led bulb lights stands in the tank lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Sunsun canister filter hw-3000, Atman canister filter 3338, Skimmer Shanda filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
Livestock (10 Moenkhausia pittieri, 5 Hemigrammus bleheri, 3 otocinclus vestitus) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Setup notes: Is a 3 side view aquascape i chose one side for the contest, fertilization with aquaforest micro and potasium salt in a preparation, my inspiration is a nature style of Takashi Amano scapes
