The Verdant Labyrinth

A large aquarium layout featuring The Verdant Labyrinth, 182 L (48.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Debayan Das. The composition is built around Bogwood with Seiryu Stone..

The hardscape with Bogwood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 26 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver.2, ADA PowerSand Advanced. substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Azur Beam Pro 3 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (Target 1 PH drop running 1 hour before lights on and trurned off 2 hours before lights off.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 2X Sunsun HW 303A Cannister Filter filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
