A small aquarium layout featuring The Sunken Forest, 73 L (19.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Ferenc Benyak. Seiryu stone and Fossilized Wood set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Seiryu stone, Fossilized Wood, Coral Sinker Wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Yokuchi Jiban Soil, ADA Colorado substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Twinstar 600CC lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (2 bubble/sec
Power:0-24) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Terra EX700 Plus filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
