A large aquarium layout featuring The Creation, 324 L (85.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Ricardo Dalla. Mopani wood set the depth lines of the frame.

About 19 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Power Sand Advance, Aqua Soil Amazonia, La Plata, Aqua Gravel substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
