A small aquarium layout featuring Shallow passage, 70 L, by Fariha Shushan. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu stones, Seiryu stone crushed.
Hardscape (Seiryu stones, Seiryu stone crushed) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Micranthemum tweediei ‘, Monte Carlo’, Eleocharis parvula sp. ‘, Mini’) favors foreground carpeting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA Amazonia V2, ADA Powersand advance S substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB II Pro LED Light 60cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Dophin CF 1488 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
