A large aquarium layout featuring swing, 180 L, by Taegi Yoon. The composition is built around bluedragonstone with driftwood.
The hardscape with bluedragonstone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Micranthemum ‘, montecarlo’, Ammania sp. ‘ — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Neo Premium Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Metal light “x” + Metal light REAL lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. EHEIM classic 600 (2217) 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.
