This kit is designed as a flexible foundation rather than a fully complete system. The larger size of the 60U allows for more intricate layouts and a wider range of aquatic plant and livestock options, making it a popular choice for aquascapers looking to create a more developed, long-term display. From here, you can build out your aquascape with your choice of materials to match your goals.
