Wetlands

A nano tank layout featuring Wetlands, 11 L (2.9 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Caio Honorio. The hardscape focus sits on Seiryu Stone.

Hardscape (Seiryu Stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 1 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Ada Amazonia v2 substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros WRGB II lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this nano tank. Hbl 801 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech nanos react badly to sudden large water changes — keep a steady schedule.

Scroll to the specs table to match each equipment line; more inspiration in Under 28L.
