The promontory

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring The promontory, 144L, by Yann Bossi. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu stone.

The hardscape with Seiryu stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubias, bucephalandra, hemianthus callitrichoides cuba — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Paysage rocheux substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Eheim pro4 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With 13 PARACHEIRODON INNES, 5 otocinclus, 8 japonica, watch bioload: a mid-size aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
