A nano tank layout featuring Under the old tree, 27L L, by Asaftei Cristian. The composition is built around driftwood and river rocks.
Hardscape (driftwood and river rocks) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Rotala spc., Anubias spcs, Bucephalandra spc — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Soil + cosmetic sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
2 x Tetronic Led 380 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Tetratec ex 600 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
