A large aquarium layout featuring Rohendel, 680 L, by Henry Ngo. Ohko stone and Manzanita Driftwood set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Ohko stone, Manzanita Driftwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Alternanthera Reineckii, Anubias Nana, Bacopa Caroliana, Bolbitis Heudelotii Difformis) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. UNS Controsoil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
3x Netlea AT6 Pro lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. DIY 60 Gallon sump 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.
