A nano tank layout featuring River of Illusion, 5 L, by Ivo Menezes. Pedra Seiryu 25kg and Areia La Plata Ada set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Pedra Seiryu 25kg sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubia barteri var. “nana mini coin”, Anubia barteri var. “nana petite”, Bucephalandra sp. “Brownie Helena” — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver. 2, Power Sand Advance S Ada substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Seven Master 18cm SZD-B20WW-8W lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Jebo 501 Hang On 250 L/h 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.
