Underland

A large aquarium layout featuring Underland, 360L, by ZhangBeibei. driftwood and volcanic rocks set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (driftwood, volcanic 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 Riccardia chamedryfolia, :Vesicularia ferriei, Bucephalandra — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes.

led light lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.

Livestock (Pristella maxillaris) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in Collection.
