A small aquarium layout featuring Skinhole of Macaws, 63 L, by Marcelo Meratti. Oceantech Honeycomb and PlantPro Cinnamon set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Oceantech Honeycomb, PlantPro Cinnamon) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubias barteri (Engl.) Crusio “, nana petit”, Bucephalandra sp. Schott “ — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. ADA Amazonia 2 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Eheim 2236 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
