A nano tank layout featuring Silent harmony, 35 L (9.2 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Arthur Carvalho Valgueiro. The hardscape focus sits on collected river pebbles and collected wood.
The hardscape with collected river pebbles and collected wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 9 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. plantpro cosmetic sand, plantpro fertile substrate substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
homemade lighting with LED bulbs lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (35 ppm of CO2, turned on one hour before the photoperiod and turned off 30 minutes before the end of the photoperiod) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Hang on oceantech hf 300 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
