Aquascaping is a learned art form that allows you to create an underwater landscape, inspiration for many works come from both underwater locations but also natural scenes such as mountains, jungles, deserts, waterfalls and many others.

When you’re creating an aquarium, the possibilities are limitless. This style is characterized by many different types of plants with multiple leaf types. It’s commonly seen with raised ‘layers’, or terraces.

Aquascaping is a term we generally use for describing the setting up and decorating of an aquarium in such a way that it satisfies our own perceptions of what is aesthetically pleasing. Yet in truth, Aquarium Design is so much more.

Before we jump in and explore aquascaping there needs to be a functioning aquarium environment. Aquarium Design can differ significantly from standard tropical setups. This is because some aquatic plants require higher lighting and nutrient rich substrates to thrive.
