Uncontrollable Nature

A nano tank layout featuring Uncontrollable Nature, 2,7 L, by Andrea Lauria. The hardscape focus sits on Horn wood, Vulcan stone.

The hardscape with Horn wood sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. The plant list (Pilea &#8216, Silver Tree&#8217, Gramineus, Lobelia cardinalis) favors a mixed planting; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. ADA aqua gravel, Aqpet wild sand rose velvet substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

2 Chihiros A series lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. no filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. On nano tanks, ramp light intensity over the first 2–3 weeks to limit hair algae.
