A large aquarium layout featuring The Titan’s Goblet, 270L, by Gu JungMin. Horn wood and Neo Premium Soil set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Horn wood, Neo Premium Soil, Ryuoh stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Riccardia Chamedryfolia) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. fog sheet substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Metal Light Real1200 x 2, 7hours lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. QQ bc1200 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.
With Melanotaenia praecox, watch bioload: a large aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
