Aquascaping Techniques

We can help you set up your own amazing Aquascape.

In recent years, Aquascaping has become quite popular.  Underwater gardening, using a variety of plants, creates a natural, aesthetically-pleasing look for your home or office.  The setup involves using a variety of natural elements including aquatic plants, stones, rocks and driftwood.  These days, aquariums are so much more than just a collection of fish.  Here are some tips on setting up yours:

1. Use a variety of plant types
2. Don’t overfill the tank
3. Keep it simple – but avoid perfect symmetry (keep it natural)
4. Choose colours that work well together
5. Choose natural looking gravel that will blend well with the environment
