The Colorful Hills

A small aquarium layout featuring The Colorful Hills, 64.8L, by Marcin Biedal. Yokuchi Jiban Soil set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Yokuchi Jiban Soil,) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Eleocharis Acicularis 'Mini') favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Frozen foil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

1 x Chihiros WRGB 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Fluval 407 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With 8 x Paracheirodon innesi, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 55–80L.
