Walz of the Flowers

A large aquarium layout featuring Walz of the Flowers, 240L, by Viktoria Timofejeva. ADA Power Sand + ADA Amazonia II soil set the depth lines of the frame.

The hardscape with ADA Power Sand + ADA Amazonia II soil sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as 1.Myriophyllum roraima — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Dark gray substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

AquaLED RGB lamp (Poland) 96W/15000 Lumen lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium.

Livestock (10 Moenkhausia pittieri) fits this large aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.

Setup notes: This aquarium has been running for 18 months and this is my first planted aquarium attempt.
