Adventures In Aquascaping
Aquascaping is the craft of organizing aquatic crops, as well as rocks, rocks, cavework, or driftwood, within an aesthetically satisfying manner in a aquarium--in effect, gardening under water. Aquascape designs include a number of distinct styles, including the garden-like Dutch style and the Japanese-inspired characteristics style.Typically, an aquascape houses fish as well as plants, although it is possible to set-up an aquascape with plants only, or with rockwork or other hardscape and no plants.Although the principal aim of aquascaping is to build an artful underwater landscaping, the technical areas of container maintenance and the expansion requirements of aquatic crops are also taken into account.Many factors must be well balanced in the closed down system of an aquarium container to guarantee the success of the aquascape. These factors include purification, maintaining carbon dioxide at levels sufficient to support photosynthesis underwater, substrate and fertilization, lighting, and algae control.Aquascape hobbyists trade plants, carry out contests, and share photographs and information via the web.The United States-based Aquatic Gardeners Association has about 1,200 associates.
