Aquascaping
is the term used for designing aquarium landscapes. This is where plant
compositions, reproductions of landscapes above water or natural biotopes are
created. An aquascaping aquarium contains no or few fish and invertebrates.
This way the nutrient supply for plants is reduced and their growth is limited.
Nitrogens, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce substances and need
controlled and exact re-dosing. For healthy growth in their beautiful
underwater landscape the plants need light, CO2 and the right nutrients.
Volcanic
rock
The highly
porous volcanic rock fulfils important functions in an aquascaping aquarium:
Firstly it forms a stable foundation for further rock constructions and/or root
wood, which would otherwise slip downwards through the soil. Secondly many
beneficial bacteria settle inside the porous structure. The porousness of the
rock structure also enables the nutrient to penetrate it and it thus supplies
numerous minerals enabling the plants to take root and grow well inside it.
The
calculation formula for the right amount of substrate is: length (cm) x width
(cm) x height (cm): 1000 = litres JBL ProScape VolcanoMineral
