A large aquarium layout featuring SUN VALLEY, 200L, by BRUNA ANDRADE. The hardscape focus sits on Rocks Ryuoh, ADA..
Hardscape (Rocks Ryuoh, ADA.) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as – Rotala sp. H'RA — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Background: White vinyl sticker substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
RSX F200, Maxspect lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Canister Ultramax 1000, Aquael Canister Sunsun HW-402B 1000 UV9W 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.
