A small aquarium layout featuring Rimba Toba, 73 L (19.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Robi Chen. Santigi Woods and Turly Stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Santigi Woods, Turly Stone, Lava rock) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 13 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. NEO Soil plant, ADA Laplata Sand, ADA Colorado Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros A601(A-series), Chihiros C2 RGB, Chihiros C2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (running 3 hours before lights on and turning off same with the light (8 hours)) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim 2213, Hopar External Filter 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.
