A large aquarium layout featuring The Spring is coming, 240 L, by Marcin Biedal. The composition is built around ADA Aqua Gravel with Dennerle Rio Xingu.
Read the stone and wood (ADA Aqua Gravel, Dennerle Rio Xingu, Aquael Quartz Sand, Wild Rhino Stone, Local…) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Bolbitis heudelotii compact, Alternanthera Reineckii Mini, Anubias nana, Anubias nana Bonsai) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Yokuchi Jiban Soil, Yokuchi Ganban Power Base, substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
2x Chihiros VIVID 2 130W lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Hypermax 4500 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
