A nano tank layout featuring Uprising, 18L, by Rajib Saha. ADA amazonia soil and Frodo rock set the depth lines of the frame.
Read the stone and wood (ADA amazonia soil, Frodo rock, Laplata sand, Aqua gravel) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as Micranthemum sp 'Tweedy', Vesicularia sp, Rotala H'ra — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Frostrate vinyle substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ADA Aqua sky 361, 2 Qty lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. External canister filter 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.
Livestock (Hyphessobrycon sp.) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
Setup notes: ADA Brighty Mineral, ADA brighty K, ADA Iron, ADA Nitrogen, No gadget used, Regular 8 hours lighting and presurrised CO2
