Aquascaping is the craft of organizing aquatic plants, as well as stones, rocks, cavework, or driftwood, in an aesthetically satisfying manner in a aquarium--in impact, gardening under water. Aquascape designs add a number of particular styles, including the garden-like Dutch style and the Japanese-inspired characteristics style.Typically, an aquascape homes fish as well as plant life, although it can be done to produce an aquascape with crops only, or with rockwork or other hardscape and no plants.Although the principal goal of aquascaping is to generate an artful underwater panorama, the technical areas of container maintenance and the growth requirements of aquatic crops are also taken into consideration.Many factors must be balanced in the closed down system of an aquarium container to ensure the success of any aquascape. These factors include filtration, maintaining carbon dioxide at levels sufficient to support photosynthesis underwater, substrate and fertilization, lamps, and algae control.Aquascape hobbyists trade crops, conduct contests, and share photos and information via the web.The United States-based Aquatic Gardeners Relationship has about 1,200 associates.
