Submerged forest

A large aquarium layout featuring Submerged forest, 360L, by Eakthanat Isarathikul. The hardscape focus sits on Driftwood.

Hardscape (Driftwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Anubias ‘Petite’) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy.

Life Aua Master pro x2 , Prime Pro ex1200 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim 2217,2215 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.

With Moenkhausia Costae, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
