Time

A large aquarium layout featuring Time, 270 L (71.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Adrian Cristian Asaftei. local stone set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (local stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 16 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Active soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

2 x Life Aqua Prime Pro EX 900 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (7L bottle, Life Aqua regulator, inline diffuse) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Tetratex EX 1500 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
