Tropical Rainforest

A large aquarium layout featuring Tropical Rainforest, 300L, by I Putu Bayu Yatha Loka. Master Soil and Lavarock set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (Master Soil, Lavarock, Arabica fossil wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. The plant list (Hair grash, wepping moss, Rotalla HRA, Rotalla Orange juice) favors mosses and epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Pumice substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

2X Chihiros WRGB 2 120cm lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. 2X Atman A3339S filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Livestock (15 Cardinal tetras.) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Setup notes: I done this work becouse of inspired by the rainforest in Kalimantan, Indonesia wich i really want to visit.
