A large aquarium layout featuring The uprising, 300L, by Eamon Giles. River sand and elephant stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (River sand, elephant stone, Mekong wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Blyxa Aubertti, crypt wendetii brown, crypt Lucea, trident fern) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Frosted substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB 2 120cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim classic 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
Livestock (Five banded barbs, chocolate gourami) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 220–320L.
