The Way out of the Jungle

A large aquarium layout featuring The Way out of the Jungle, 280 L, by Aurelien Corjon. The hardscape focus sits on Drift wood, stones.

Read the stone and wood (Drift wood, stones) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Anubia barteri var. nana &#8216, Mini&#8217, Anubia barteri var. nana &#8216, Pinto&#8217) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. River Sand, Tropica Aquarium Soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Twinstar Light III 1200 SA lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. Eheim Professional 4+ 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
