A small aquarium layout featuring Shelter, 77 L, by Pok Man Lau. Yamaya Stone and Iron Wood set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (Yamaya Stone, Iron Wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Cryptocoryne parva, Eleocharis acicularis ‘, Mini’ — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA Aqua Soil-Amazonia Ver.2, ADA POWER SAND ADVANCE substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ADA AQUASKY RGB 60 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Eheim pro 4+ 350 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
With Axelrodia riesei, Macrotocinclus affinis, Parotocinclus haroldoi, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
