I'm about to set up my 20 gallon long and want to do a naturalistic aquascape with driftwood, plants, maybe rocks? I can't figure out exactly what I want to go for so I need some inspiration!

Literally just finished water change 10 min ago so excuse cloudiness. This is my 20 gallon long GBR amd snail tank. My sag grass is going over board and I need to trim.

 

[LoganKarl]

This is my 45g community tank. Still working on it!

Here's one of my past rock & driftwood aquascapes.

Super cute lovee all the snails, thanks for sharing!

I really like all the tall plants in the back, what are they?

I'm obsessed with this, do you happen to remember what kind of rocks those are?

 

[A201]

They are Texas Holey Rock / Honeycombed limestone. I bought them from a local rockyard. Much cheaper that way.

 

[DIYbetta]

Here is my current one, but I’m getting a new tank soon.

 

[LoganKarl]

The store I bought them from didn't have the name however, I believe they are Vallisneria Spiralis.

[Rfinner]

Heres my 29 I personally like it.

My 20 gallon nano community.
Mine is low tech tho, no CO2 and only weekly fert dosing. If you are going with CO2 and good lights, you'll have way more plant options.

These are two of mine... theyre my natural planted tanks

Bravo! Nice vids Your dwarf sag is amazing, do you grow it in sand? Root tabs? And I noticed your Bolivian rams and keyhole cichilds

This is my 90g. It's well established, but this was my first real attempt at aquascaping. It has actually held up well after 5 years.

Wow great job on these! Do you remember what kind of plants are in the first video, the ones with the tall stem and little circular leaves toward the back of the tank?

Love this, thank you for sharing! I was just looking at very similar wood which was really light weight, are those the same way and if so do they just stay down after they're waterlogged or do you do something to keep them there?

No once you boil it it stays down. I boil it to get some of the tanins out. And thank you I just re scaped it last weekend. It is the wood that is light and dark wood.

It was just sand with DIY Osmocote plus root tabs. Sporadic fert dosing and high light that was on way too long. I have no idea how I was successful with that tank.

Wow great job on these! Do you remember what kind of plants are in the first video, the ones with the tall stem and little circular leaves toward the back of the tank?

Thanks. If your talking about the tall stems in the center area it was a mix of Bacopa Moneywort and Bacopa Carlina if I remember right. The stems in the back right was a Hygrophila of some sort.

Ok I’ll play. First my 90 g next my 15 gallon What’s aquascaping?shrimp tank.and my 30 gallon qt tankand last my 125 discus tank .

 

[Lissy0805]

Aquascaping is landscaping just under water.

 

[A201]

Wow amazing tanks... One question... How did you get your SAE in the 90 and 125 to pose in the same exact way for the photo shoot

 

[86 ssinit]

Lol just messin around. It’s just that tank is a mess and way over grown .

Wow amazing tanks... One question... How did you get your SAE in the 90 and 125 to pose in the same exact way for the photo shoot

Lol now this is really funny. I’ve got to say I train my SAE to pose like that.Also because I only have one in the 125 I’ve trained it to pose with that leaf . Got to say if I aI'm that iPhone at the tank everybody wants to get in the pic .

My 55 community tank. I’m still aiming to get the vals to make a thick curtain in the back.

 

[aquafrogg]

Why not spark this thread up again

My 10 gallon betta, ADF, nerite, And soon chilI Rasbora tank

 

[Jakkie]

Since this thread was just popped back up, I realized I forgot to post what I ended up doing. Its still a work in progress and the fish in there now will not be our final fish for the tank but the scaping is almost where we want it to be. Will probably add another anubias or two but for now this is what I have. Spider driftwood, java moss, lace rock and anubias.

 

[MJohnson]

This is my 45g community tank. Still working on it!

What kind of plants did you use for this look?

 

[JoshuavanWyk]

10 gallon betta tank

 

[00Classic]

Here are a few I have done. Never seemed to have the budget for hardscape when I was building. Most of my tanks were thrown together with things I already had. One day I want to make a plan for a tank and take my time to piece it together

Today....lol filled in a lot!

 

[KingJamal2]

here’s my planted 40 breeder. It’s not quite done, but I just set it u yesterday, so the plants will fill in eventually.

 

[MissNoodle]

Updating... mine look way better than they did before.

20g tall


10g nano


46g bowfront

 

[Lili]

This is mine. TBH I want to replant the plants in the back closer to eachother so I would have space for various new plants. I am new to aquariums and I want to try lots of plant species and experiment with various shapes and leaves . I want a nice carpet too. Seems like marsileas would fit my parameters. Tell me if you have any aquascaping suggestions!

 

[jkkgron2]

This is mine..not so much a aquascape cause I have mostly fake plants but it still looks good!

 

[aquafrogg]

Can you tell I like sticks? Got em all from my oak tree in my yard

 

[Rye3434]

This is my newly set up UNS 60u High tech, one of my 1st 'real' aquascapes

 

[A201]

I really like the rock arrangement. The attached plants tie it all together & make it pop.

Thank you! The plants between the rocks are all there mostly to conceal filter floss used to stop the soil from coming forward lol.
