Rocky Shore

A nano tank layout featuring Rocky Shore, 36L L, by Tamás Fábián. The composition is built around Frodo Stone.

Read the stone and wood (Frodo Stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Eleocharis pusilla, Marsilea minuta, Bucephalandra sp. &#8216 — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA Power Sand Advance S, ADA Bacter 100, ADA Clear Super, ADA Tourmaline BC, ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia V. 2, Wio Heaven Sand, ADA Aqua Gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB II + Shader lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Eheim Prof 4+ 350 2273 + Seachem Matrix filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.

Livestock (PRL Shrimps, Red Rili Shrimps) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
