A nano tank layout featuring Tropical Zen Garden, 27 L (7.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Carlos Eduardo Barbosa Francischinelli Ferreira. The composition is built around Seiryu Stone and Wood Root.
The hardscape with Seiryu Stone and Wood Root sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 1 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. SKRw Plant Soil Oriental Nature substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
SOMA S-400 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (Non CO2 application) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Soma HF-250 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.
