A large aquarium layout featuring RSL Dutch Garden, 471 L (124.4 gal.), Dutch style, by Tim Gross. The composition is built around Spider Wood.
Hardscape (Spider Wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. CaribSea Super Naturals Peace River, ADA Aquasoil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
3 – Ecotech Radion XR30 G5 Freshwater LED, 35 percent max brightness on parabolic setting, 12 hours/day lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (Pressurized CO2 using Milwaukee MC122US pH controller set at pH 6.5) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 2 – Oase BioMaster Thermo 850 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
