Slan Sanctuary

A large aquarium layout featuring Slan Sanctuary, 190 L (50.2 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Marreira júnior. The hardscape focus sits on Rochas, madeira, areia de rio.

Hardscape (Rochas, madeira, areia de rio) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 29 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Amazônia mbreda substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Netlea AT5s lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (35 ppm 10 horas dia) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Jebo 838 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
