A large aquarium layout featuring Sunken flames, 182 L (48.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Samurdha Manthila. Drift wood and Natural stones set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Drift wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Natural sand, Planting soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Week aqua 900p x 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (CO2 cylinder) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Atman canister filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
