Aquascaping - make something nice out of your aquarium!
Aquascaping has elevated aquarium design to an art form. Scenic landscapes are created under water, similar to painting a picture. The aquascaper uses natural materials such as aquatic plants, soil and decorative objects. Often this so-called hardscape consists of wood and / or stones. Aquascaping originated in the natural aquarium, a style that was founded several years ago by the Japanese aquarium designer and photographer Takashi Amano.
