Hardscape In action

Japanese Floral Reef

This aquarium uses hardscape, flora and fauna native to Japan. Dragon rock forms a sedimentary base that mirrors natural mountain ridges.

Mountains in the Distance

This aquarium was scaped for a customer who wanted a nano Iwagumi layout. It is used to show a mountain range. Elephant skin stone was used as it is highly detailed to show crevices in mountains and looks better with age as algae grows over some spaces.

Revived in a Terrarium

This terrarium was scaped for a client and planted with rare and exotic tissue culture plants. A single piece of Mopani wood was dressed up with epiphytes, liverwort and moss to give it age and interest. It shows that just one piece of hardscape can be used to make a complex looking environment.

Mopani Wood

Mopani wood is a bold piece of hardscape with intricate details that can be arranges to create a sense of flow in an aquascape. It is rich in tannic acids that buffer the hardness & pH of the water and have antibacterial and antifungal properties that help to prevent external infections on livestock.

Spider Wood

Spider wood is commonly used in aquascapes to resemble roots or branches. Based on the orientation it is positioned, it can be used to enhance a focal point or be the statement piece itself. In the beginning stages, it forms a biofilm rich in nutrients for scavengers and grazers to feed on.

Dragon Stone

Dragon stone is a popular piece of hardscape with cavities and direction. Positioned in the same direction can create a sense of flow, but in different directions it can be used to create a stunning and bold focal point.

River Gravel

River gravel comes in 1-2mm grain size and is completely natural without altering water hardness and pH. It has different shades of brown that look great in riverbed designs.

Millet Yellow Sand

Millet yellow sand is a fine grain sand that can brighten up your aquascape with its golden colour. Although a fine sand, it does not alter water hardness and pH. It has good density so the aquarium won’t constantly be dusted with sand when scavengers sift through it.
