A large aquarium layout featuring Spires, 80 gallons L, by T Kawamura. seiryu stone and mopani driftwood set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (seiryu stone, mopani driftwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Callicostella Prabaktiana, hydrocotyle tripartita, hydrocotyle verticillata, cryptocoryne parva mini) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. chihiros aqua soil, chihiros natural gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
chihiros RGB vivid II lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. fluval FX4 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
