A large aquarium layout featuring Wild Fire, 250 L (66.0 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Iosif Nicolae Adrian. The hardscape focus sits on Dragon stone, Mangrove wood.
Hardscape (Dragon stone, Mangrove wood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 7 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Inert substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Life aqua Prime Pro ex 900 lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (Yes) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Eheim 2078 e filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
