A mid-size aquarium layout featuring VALFENDA, 96 L, by Samuel Rodrigues. The planting revolves around Echinodorus sp Small and Eleocharis minima.
On the plant side, the layout leans toward background stem plants with species such as Echinodorus sp Small, Eleocharis minima, Hemianthus micranthemoides — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Prodibio Aquashrimp Powder substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
WeekAqua Série lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this mid-size aquarium. Eheim Classic 350 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.
