Unbound

A large aquarium layout featuring Unbound, 675 L (178.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Somraj Roychoudhury. Seriyu stones and Driftwoods set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Seriyu stones, Driftwoods , Sand) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 1 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Netlea substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Maxspect lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (35 ppm running 2 hours before light is switched on) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. F zone-2 pcs, Oase 850 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
