Shade Tree

A large aquarium layout featuring Shade Tree, 270L, by Selçuk DURMAZ. Standout plants include Riccardia chamedryfolia (Mini Pellia).

The plant list (Riccardia chamedryfolia (Mini Pellia)) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. led light substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

2*Life Aqua prime pro ex lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Aquael and Qase external filter 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.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 220–320L.
