A small aquarium layout featuring Sagascape (AGA 2024 #37), 45 L, by Daniel Fernandes. Dragon Stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Dragon Stone) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Eleocharis sp. Mínima, Eleocharis sp. Japan, Hemianthus callitrichoides Cuba, Micranthemum sp. Monte Carlo) 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.
WeekAqua s450 pro lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Sunsun Hbl 803 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.
With Green neon tetras, Paratocinclus, Corydora hastatus, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
