The Light Of Dawn

A large aquarium layout featuring The Light Of Dawn, 182.2L, by John Savouidakis. The hardscape focus sits on Amazonia ver 2.

Read the stone and wood (Amazonia ver 2) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubias, Bucephalandras, Ceratopteris Thalictroides — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes.

Twinstar 900 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Oase 850 Thermo filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Glowlight Tetra, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
