180L Planted Aquarium Setup with Dragon Stone | Aquascape TV

Welcome to Aquascape TV. This time we will share to you, our NEW planted aquarium setup with dragon stone. In this video, we will guide you about step by step to make this beautiful planted tank layout. First, make a hardscape of rocks, wood or other decoration material of your taste. A nice hardscape creates room and perspective for both fish and plants. Then add about 1 centimeter of substrate below the gravel to give long term nutrient storage for the growth of plants. The gravel is distributed with the slope upwards towards the rear wall of the aquarium. This way, you can achieve depth and perspective. The easiest way to plant in the aquarium is at a water level just a few centimeters from the bottom. Very large dragon rocks are planted with Hydrocotyle, Anubias and Hygrophila Pinnatifida. On the last, vertical shoots have to be removed, in order to achieve crawling growth. Growth on Hydrocotyle has to be put back into place regularly with a hand, in order to maintain a low and dense appearance. Ludwigia sp. and Limnophila Hippuridoides create the dense, colourful background and the high Eleocharis species close the edges. The dense Echinodorus Tenellus has to be trimmed quite often, in order to prevent it from taking over the entire bottom. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy the video.
