The whisper of the stones

A large aquarium layout featuring The whisper of the stones, 182 L (48.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Jose Luis Catedra Martinez. The composition is built around Seiryu stone.

The hardscape with Seiryu stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 12 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Aquario neo soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb 2 lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (Con controlador de ph) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Jbl e902, ica tbjt 1208 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
