Aquascaping Style

Aquascaping

Aquascaping is the practice of creating a natural aquatic landscape in your aquarium. It’s commonly associated with freshwater live planted aquariums, however saltwater reef aquariums also utilize this practice.

Reef aquariums use rock to create structures in which live coral is attached or placed. The placement of many corals is crucial for most species. This is because different types of coral have different requirements in terms of flow, light intensity, or proximity to other coral. Corals requiring higher light are often placed in elevated positions, which coral species require lower lighting are often placed further down in the aquarium closer to the bottom.
