Titan wood

A large aquarium layout featuring Titan wood, 227 L, by Frank Sebastiao. The composition is built around Red cedar with Frodo stone.

The hardscape with Red cedar sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward foreground carpeting with species such as Eleocharis parvula, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, Marsilea hirsuta — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Tropica substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros vivid 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. 2 oase biomaster 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
