Aquascape's Composition

The composition of such aquascape garden composition. The size, texture, character growth and color gradation on the basis of high and low compiled, so it looks from every direction dimension. The composition of these plants can also be combined with complementary hard materials of stone and wood that have been fossilized as an ornament. Use rocks for freshwater aquarium is not recommended, because of the high lime content of the rock can affect the quality of water that cause negative for plant growth.

Environmental water needs of crops grown close. The need of light such as light beam is obtained through the quality resembles natural light. To aquascape should use tubular fluorescent lamps. Advantages: saving energy and light produced evenly but do not generate heat. The downside: limited intensity so that will be effective when placed at a maximum height of 60 cm from the surface of the aquarium water. As an illustration, the aquarium size 70 x 70 x 60 cm (height) using powerful lighting 7000 Kelvin with a capacity of 150 watts which is turned on for 8 hours a day.

The temperature in the water is maintained so as not to exceed 26 degrees Celsius, because more than that can cause unhealthy plants grow slowly even be dead. To maintain water temperature to use additional equipment that is controlled chiller that serves the same with air conditioned (AC) with a portable system that is connected with water through the pipe installation. Levels of carbon dioxide in water maintained in a balanced condition so that the process of life in the water is running normally. To control CO2 levels are used indicator is placed in the water. Change the color of the indicator shows the CO2 content in the water.

Aquascape

Aquascape is art of aquarium arrangement.
If you like the natural atmosphere, maybe you should try to park in the water. This park is unique, because the entire park is in the water (submerged). Simply put, you have a garden that was in the aquarium (aquascape). But more major aquascape garden care than the fish. Because not all types of fish suitable to live with a number of dominant plant species existing in aquarium. Some types of fish disturbed by the presence of plants growing around it. But there are types who like to destroy crops of fish such as goldfish species.
The principle is the presence of the plant became part of the ecosystem balance in the water. Fish need oxygen for breathing, release carbon dioxide as waste products. Plants will absorb carbon dioxide as raw materials of photosynthesis process to convert into food for. Another advantage, the plant serves as a biofilter to absorb fish feces and urine which could eventually result in toxicity to the growth of the fish itself.
 

 
Aquatic plants such as crops grown on land, using the growing medium in the form of quartz sand mixed with a special fertilizer that is produced specifically for the aquascape. So that looks clean and the plant held in the planting medium, medium surface covered again with sand that is still clean (without fertilizer mixture) and the contoured surface is made to make it look dimensional.
