A small aquarium layout featuring Rough (AGA 2025 #1184), 81 L (21.4 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Jungwoo Yoo. The hardscape focus sits on Local stones, kisyrium wood.
Hardscape (Local stones, kisyrium wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 6 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. NEO premium plants soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ONF light lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (8 hours a day) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Ehime2215 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
