A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Tinsel Town ’24, 140 L, by Joe Harvey. The composition is built around None.
The hardscape with None sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as L-R 1. Microsorum Narrow K (sides and back wall) 2. Blyxa sp Red 3.Syngonanthus sp ‘, Meta’, 4.Ludwigia ovalis ‘ — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Landen aquasoil 3 yrs old substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
4x T5HO lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Canister filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
