A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Sunny Garden, 109 L (28.8 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Giuseppe Schiros. The hardscape focus sits on Lava rock, wine wood.
Hardscape (Lava rock, wine wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Inert lava, colorado sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros wrgb II lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Eheim 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
