TARDIS

A small aquarium layout featuring TARDIS, 64L, by Paul Devery. Standout plants include Anubias petite.

On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubias petite — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Decorative film substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Led 20 w white /blue lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Oase bioplus Thermo 100 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.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 55–80L.
