The Calm

A nano tank layout featuring The Calm, 37L, by Dawid Wycislik. The hardscape focus sits on wood.

Read the stone and wood (wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Eleocharis parvula — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. no substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros A451 27W lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. EHEIM 2211 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.

Setup notes: Controsoil
