The art of gardening underwater

Aquascaping refers to the technique of landscaping in an aquarium. It can be a very original plant composition, a replica of the terrestrial landscape or a natural biome. An aquascape aquarium generally contains few or no fish and invertebrates. Consequently, the supply of nutrients to plants is less and their growth is restricted. Minerals such as nitrogen and phosphorus have become scarce commodities and targeted refertilization has become necessary. To grow healthily in a beautiful underwater landscape, plants need enough light, carbon dioxide and nutrients.

volcanic rock

The ultra-porous volcanic rock has multiple functions in aquascaping: on the one hand, it provides an ideal stable base for stone and/or wooden structures and prevents them from sinking into the substrate, and on the other hand , many useful bacteria to colonize it. porous structure. The porous structure of the rock allows nutrients to seep into it and provides many minerals that allow plants to take root and grow well.
