Underwater colors

A mid-size aquarium layout featuring Underwater colors, 94.4L, by Diego Figueiredo Perez. The hardscape focus sits on Dragon stone, sand.

Hardscape (Dragon stone, sand) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. Contact paper substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros wrgb series 2 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Seachem tidal 55 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 80–162L.
