The Depth

A small aquarium layout featuring The Depth, 66 L (17.4 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Narongrit Dantragoon. The hardscape focus sits on dragon stone.

Hardscape (dragon stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 13 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. chihiros substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

chihiros mini vivid2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (30 ppm co2 8 hrs) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. eheim filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.

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