River Falls

A small aquarium layout featuring River Falls, 41 L (10.8 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Jozef Scury. River Stones and ada colorado sand set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (River Stones, ada colorado sand) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. tropica soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

kessil a80 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (INVITAL CO2 Generator) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase FiltoSmart Thermo 100 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
