A large aquarium layout featuring The Stillness After, 300 L (79.3 gal.), Dutch style, by Raj Mahakul. The composition is built around Lavarock to attach Bolbitis.
Read the stone and wood (Lavarock to attach Bolbitis) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 14 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. calcinied clay substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Prizm LED by Nilocg lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (~40 ppm using reactor, starts 2 hours before light period and ends 1 hour before end of light period) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Fluval SS filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
