A nano tank layout featuring Verdon, 20 L (5.3 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Thierry Fischbach. The composition is built around Geo stones with Ada la
Plata sand.
The hardscape with Geo stones sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 5 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Tropica soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
ONF flat nano lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. CO₂ (None) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Dennerle scaper’s flow 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.
