We Want… A Shrubbery!!!

A nano tank layout featuring We Want… A Shrubbery!!!, 22L, by Cody Hurst. Standout plants include Didiplis Diandra.

On the plant side, the layout leans toward a mixed planting with species such as Didiplis Diandra — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Beige Wall substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

1x Aqua Worx Orion Nano LED light lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. 1x Dymax Slim-Flo HOB Filter 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.
