The Power of Three: Hardscape Elements
1. Wild Red Lava Stone
Our Wild Red Lava Stone is the star of this design. Its natural texture and deep red Tones
create a striking contrast against the lush green of aquatic plants and the vibrant colours of your fish. The porous nature of the lava stone also provides excellent surface area for beneficial bacteria, making it both a functional and aesthetic choice.
2. Artist Terra Substrate
The Artist Terra substrate serves as the perfect foundation. Its rich, earthy tones complement the Wild Red Lava Stone, enhancing the natural look and feel of your aquascape. This substrate not only anchors your plants securely but also promotes healthy root growth, ensuring your aquascape remains vibrant and thriving.
3. Centerpiece Driftwood
By selecting a centerpiece driftwood, like the one used in this aquascape, you add a dramatic focal point that ties the design together. The driftwood provides a natural habitat for fish and shrimp while adding vertical interest to your layout.
Vibrant Color and Contrast
The combination of these elements creates a visually stunning contrast with the greenery of plants like Anubias, Java Fern, and other aquatic species. The dark wood and vibrant red stones bring out the best in your plant colors, while the bright fish swimming amidst the setup add movement and life to your design.
