Red-hued aquatic plants add a stunning splash of color to aquariums. Their fiery shades create a dynamic contrast with green plants, enriching the underwater scenery with a vibrant palette.

A before and after photo for my tank that achieved a world rank of 13 in the IAPLC was requested and I’m here to please. This photo was taken just after I filled the tank to check refections. Because I wanted the side reflection on the right to look like a continuation of the slope in the background. But as you can also see, I continued to iterate on the hardscape and reworked the foreground on the left even after planting. I also continued to refine the position of the branches in the negative space and add details throughout the lifespan of the the aquarium. But the basic composition was there at the start. I am considering doing a livestream Q&A session about my experience with this tank. Is that something you`d be interested in?

I never scaped this aquarium with thoughts of entering a contest, this photo was taken after two months old before I had to move house. 😅
I wanted to take some photos for tropicaaquariumplants for the website and blogs as they sponsored me fully with soil and plants for this build, so I thought I’d just use them photos for a contest! ✅
I’m not sure if I would be able to aquascape an aquarium entirely just for a contest due to only have one or two aquariums at home! but I’m happy either way with my result! It’s all about fun and enjoying the process ✅
Shout out to the companies that support me on my aquascaping journey and also my friends I have met in the hobby! Shout out my guy scapes_r_us who took some great photos with no experience of taking contest style photos 📸
