A large aquarium layout featuring Tigers in the Dragon valley, 182 L (48.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Naadir Rachid Ahmad Esmail. Dragon stone set the depth lines of the frame.
Hardscape (Dragon stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 11 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA amazonia v2, la plata substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
2x ADA Solar RGB lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (30ppm one hour before ligth) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. eheim 250 experience 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.
