A large aquarium layout featuring River Echoes, 324 L (85.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Luis Cardoso. The hardscape focus sits on Ryough Stone and Hornwood.
Hardscape (Ryough Stone and Hornwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 14 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Aquario NEO substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Life Aqua Prime Pro 1200 and Prime Pro 1200EX lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (REactor) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. AQuael Hypermax 4500 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
