A small aquarium layout featuring Sagascape (AGA 2024 #137), 45 L, by Daniel Fernandes. The composition is built around DragoStone.
The hardscape with DragoStone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Eleocharis, Hemianthus callitrichoides, Micranthemum sp., Eriocaulon sp.) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Powerfert substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Semana Aqua S450 profissional lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Sunsun HBL803 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.
