Serenity (AGA 2024 #365)

A large aquarium layout featuring Serenity (AGA 2024 #365), 270 L, by Konstantin Chkhapeliya. Lava rocks and red moor woods set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with Lava rocks sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (anubias sp., bucefalandras sp., moss sp., riccardia) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Soil Ista, quartz, send substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb, Aqua Medic cube plant 50 (2) lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim 2217, Eheim 2073, Sicce pro 300 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
