A large aquarium layout featuring THE HIDDEN TRAIL, 300 L (79.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Tran Hoang Son. The hardscape focus sits on WOOD, STONE.
Read the stone and wood (WOOD , STONE ,) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 26 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA SOIL , CIBI AQUA ( DOMESTIC ) substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
CHIHIRIS VIVID II X 3 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (~15b/s , running 1 hour before lights on and turning off before 1hour lights off) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 2 X INOX DIY + 2X PUMB CHANNING 3500L/H filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
