A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Stone Breathing, 96 L (25.4 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Nguyen Kim Thanh. The hardscape focus sits on Ninh Binh Rock.
Read the stone and wood (Ninh Binh Rock) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 4 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Cibi Aqua, Contro Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Magic Led Light, chihiros a2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. CO₂ (Aluminum CO₂ set) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Thien Huong external filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
