A small aquarium layout featuring The sound of life dripping, 64 L (16.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by TOMOMI IMAI. The hardscape focus sits on Driftwood, Dragonstone.
Hardscape (Driftwood, Dragonstone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 5 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
CHIHIRO vivid2 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. EHIEM2213 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
