Rocky Forest

A large aquarium layout featuring Rocky Forest, 359L, by Insik Chung. neo Soil and Local stone set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with neo Soil sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Riccardia Chamedryfolia, Limnophila sp from Vietnam, Ceratopteris thalictroides, Micranthemum micranthemoides) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. white screen substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

AQUAS Metal Light Full RGB 120w 2ea lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Handmade of Side sump filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (Blue Rainbow) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
