Water Fall

A large aquarium layout featuring Water Fall, 242.9L, by Koji Kogure. The composition is built around Soil.

Hardscape (Soil) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. ADA Light Screen substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Tihiros VIVID2 lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this large aquarium. EHEIM professionel 3e 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.

Lighting, filtration, substrate, and plant details sit in the specs table below, or browse more layouts in 220–320L.
