Today is an exciting day, we go over how to aquascape! In this aquascaping tutorial we complete the build of our planted aquascaped 35 gallon 3D background aquarium with the help of a master Aquascaper. Kevin, from Northern Ontario Aquarium Hobby channel, joins us to build an awesome tank and he shows us all how it's done.We go over the basics of building an aquascape and how to achieve a natural look in your aquarium fish tank.
In this two part series we will show you the whole process of our newest Aquascape from start to finish. In the second part we focus on planting our previously planned hardscape. Kevin goes over how to properly plant stem plants and how to attach mosses to your layout. For more detailed information we highly recommend checking out his channel for everything on the foundations of aquascaping. Links are below in the description.
We talk about the plants we chose to incorporate in our hardscape and how to aquascape and arrange them to simulate a natural environment. The Aquatic FX (links below in description) planted 3D background compliments the tank perfectly and provided a great area to plant mosses and other aquarium plants.
This low tech planted aquascaped fish tank aquarium is brought to the next level with a well thought out hardscape and design layout. The planted 3-D aquarium fish tank background makes this build unique and brings new life to our aqua scape.
We really enjoyed learning more about how to plant stem plants and attach mosses to our driftwood and rocks. When planting stem plants it is best to plant them on an angle rather than straight on. This gives more surface area to hold the roots and plant better in place. It is common to see "floaters" or plants becoming unrooted when using a light substrate material such as fluorite (used in this build). While the fluorite will work, it isn't very heavy and we have had a few plants float to the surface. Should this happen, simply re-plant them until a firm enough root base has been established.
It is pretty normal to see some melt with freshly planted aquarium fish tanks, as plants adjust and transition to your water parameters. So far we have been pretty impressed with the growth we have seen since planting our first aquascape. It really makes your appreciate the time and effort it takes to set up one of these masterpieces.
The plants used in this aquascape are as follows:
Staurogyne Repens
Rotala Rotundifolia
Ludwigia Repens
Hydrocotyle Tripartita sp Japan
Heteranthera Zosterifolia (Stargrass)
Trident Java Fern
Anubias
Vallisneria Nana
Vallisneria Gigantea
Pearl Weed
Java Moss
Flame Moss
Spiky Moss
With the planting done we are complete with our build and couldn't be happier with the results so far. Make sure you are subscribed to see future updates on this aquascaped, planted 3-D background aquarium fish tank.
