THE TIRTOWATI

A nano tank layout featuring THE TIRTOWATI, 30 L (7.9 gal.), Paludarium style, by arih setyo nugroho. The hardscape focus sits on lavarook stone, turlystone
rentex wood, suren wood.

The hardscape with lavarook stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 10 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. via sand,cocopite,soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

DIY lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
