Aquariums can be more than just fish tanks! Take a look at our Nature aquariums. They are living, thriving ecosystems, underwater gardens and miniatures of aquatic world which can be brought into the comfort of your home or office.
Nature aquariums are unique in design and mimic natural ecosystems. Our aquascape artists draw inspiration from nature in using rocks, driftwood and stones to create a living masterpiece. We design aesthetically pleasing and harmonious aquascapes through careful consideration of the placement of plants and rocks, which achieve a good balance of ecosystem and optimize the health of aquatic life.
Fish in nature aquariums reveal their true colours as they feel safe in an aquascape that imitates their natural habitat.
An ecosystem is an environment that allows interaction between plants and animals such as fish, invertebrates and bacteria, as well as other micro-organisms, to co-exist and survive in the same habitat.
Oxygen is the lifeline for all living beings. Fish and microorganisms breathe the oxygen produced by aquatic plants and release CO2. The CO2 is reabsorbed by aquatic plants and converted back into oxygen through the photosynthesis process. This is how the Nitrogen cycle of an aquarium works.
A variety of fish are available for nature aquariums that aren’t suitable for decorative tanks. Fish in nature aquariums reveal their true colours as they feel safe in an aquascape that imitates their natural habitat.
Just like terrestrial plants, aquatic plants need CO2 for a healthy growth. Aquatic plants utilize disolved carbon dioxide to photosynthesize and make food for themselves.
Choosing the right type of lighting for your aquarium is very essential for the aesthetics as well as the growth and health of plants and fish. Depending on the depth of the aquarium, various options of lighting are available which closely simulates the temperature of sunlight and give your aquatic plants the required light spectrum to grow healthy.
Fertilizers are an important factor for the health of your planted aquarium. There are two main groups of nutrients required by your plants are Macronutrients and micronutrients. Regular dosing of fertilizers will bring out visible difference in plant health, growth and color of the plants.
Substrate in the aquarium is important for plant growth and bacteria production. In Nature, plants are provided with soil, sand and gravel which are rich in nutrients from the river deposits and rainwater. An aquarium however is isolated off to its surroundings and hence adding a nutrient rich substrate is essential for successful growth of plants.
