The Red

A large aquarium layout featuring The Red, 324 L (85.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Hyoungjoo Jeon. The hardscape focus sits on aquarium driftwood.

The hardscape with aquarium driftwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 19 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Aquario Soil, ADA La Plata Sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

AQUAS Metal Light Real 1200(132W) 2Ea, lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (3bubles/sec) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim 2217, Eheim 2215 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
