A large aquarium layout featuring RIU GES, 194 L, by Bernat Hosta Rovira. The composition is built around Slate river rocks with Briar woods.
Read the stone and wood (Slate river rocks, Briar woods) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubias barteri var. nana ‘, Bonsai’, Bucephalandra ‘ — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA AMAZONIA Aqua Soil, Advanced Soil Shrimp substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
EHEIM PowerLEd+ lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. EHEIM Professionel 4 Plus 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 (Hemigrammus erythrozonus, Puntius sachsii) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
