A large aquarium layout featuring Two Brothers, 300 L (79.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Simon Stephen. The hardscape focus sits on Seriyu stone & Pacific wood.
Hardscape (Seriyu stone & Pacific wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 68 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia Vol2, ADA Power Sand Advance, & UNS Contrasand Vesuvius substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB II Pro 120 LED lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (UNS Pro Dual Stage Regulator & UNS in Line Diffuser) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase Biomaster 2 Thermo 600 (stock media) filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
