Aquarium Gardens owner Dave Pierce aquascapes this Eheim Clearscape 200 aquarium (90x50x45cm) in the AG showroom. These open top braceless aquariums are new to the Eheim range, and available to purchase at Aquarium Gardens. This video will guide you through the process of substrate, layout composition and planting. Hopefully it will give you a few ideas for your own Aquascapes :) It's important to say that using the right equipment is key to obtaining the resulting plant growth and overall look. Main points to note: we're using CO2 injection and high powered good quality lighting. Please get in contact or visit our showroom for recommendations on equipment - it's so important to get it right! Afternote: Lighting was upgraded to a Twinstar 900s for better plant growth and improved colour rendition (see end of video). 00:42 - Intro with AG Owner Dave Pierce 01:00 - Aquarium overview 01:26 - Substrate system 02:48 - Hardscape layout composition 04:22 - Detailing gravels 05:05 - Foreground sand and path 06:25 - Planting begins 10:40 - 3 months later Equipment list: Tank and Cabinet : Lighting: Filtration: CO2 Regulator: Backlight: Substrate system: ADA Amazonia Version 2: ADA Power Sand: JBL Volcano Mineral: Detail Gravels and Sands: ADA Aqua Gravel: ADA La Plata Sand: Plants: Cryptocoryne Balansae: Eleocharis Montevidensis: Cryptocoryne costata: Cryptocoryne Willisii: Eleocharis acicularis: Shcismatoglotis Preitiol: Juncus Repens: Marsilea Hirsuta: Bucephalandra Kedagang: Bucephalandra Needle Leaf: Anubias Bonsai: Ceratopteris Water Sprite: Java Moss: #aquascape #plantedtank #plantedaquarium #natureaquarium #aquariumgardens
