A nano tank layout featuring Sunken treasure, 26L, by David Pérez. Driftwood and Seiryu stones set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Driftwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Wepping moss, hemianthus micranthemoides, anubias — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Just a translucid film substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros vivid mini. lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Eheim 2213 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
Livestock (Hyphessobrycon Amandae) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Setup notes: In this small tank, I have tried to simulate the riverbank. Where trees fall and create shelters for the fish.
