A mid-size aquarium layout featuring The charok, 144 L, by Rafiq Khairurazi. Malaysian driftwood and lava rock set the depth lines of the frame.
The hardscape with Malaysian driftwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Monte Carlo, jungle val nana, anubias, buceplandra) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Pumice substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros wrgbll 90cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Ejet 3388 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
