A large aquarium layout featuring Riverflow, 200L, by Pavol Kulanda. The hardscape focus sits on Local stone, Iron wood, Prodibio Aquagrowth Soil.
Hardscape (Local stone, Iron wood, Prodibio Aquagrowth Soil) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as various Anubias species, various Bucephalandra species, Bolbitis heudelotii petit — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Foggy film substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Life Aqua Prime Pro EX 900 RGB lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim Pro3 T350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
With Paracheirodon simulans, Crossochelius siamensis, Caridina multidentata, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
