Valley

A nano tank layout featuring Valley, 27.6L, by Vishwajeeth BL. Neo soil and Dragon Stone and Sand set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (Neo soil, Dragon Stone and Sand) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as eleocharis parvula, cryptocoryne parva, Alternanthera reineckii Mini — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. White light screen substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

chihiros rgb a451 : 99$ lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Dophin CF600 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 (fire red shrimp: 30) fits this nano tank — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
