A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Sunken tree, 144L, by Erik Eibensteiner. ADA Amazonia ver.2 and Seiryu Stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (ADA Amazonia ver.2, Seiryu Stone, Wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Micranthemum Monte Carlo — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Handmade Backlight LED substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros A901+ RGB lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Oase Biomaster 600 Thermo filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
