A nano tank layout featuring The Big Bang, 27 L (7.1 gal.), Biotope style, by Anthony Coelho de Oliveira Quintanilha. The hardscape focus sits on River Stone colect.
Hardscape (River Stone colect) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 1 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Sand River substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Bulb led lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Hf 300 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.
