I love Filipe Alves Oliveira's aquascapes and this one is no different. The different textures in this "mound" style aquascape work well (I particularly like the Crypt in the front left foreground) and the subtle use of red creates a nice focal point. Check out more of Filipe Alves Oliveira's aquascapes on his blog (all in Portugese) or specifics about "Origens" in his post on Aquascaping World.

ReplyDeleteI got a question for you. We see lots of info about how to choose and prepare a substrate for a planted tank, but not much on how to maintain it. How do we avoid anaerobic spots? Some say use snails, but, they only stir the top layer. Others say, just poke your substate, that seems ok until you consider your extensive root systems. So, what is the best way to maintain your planted tank substate?
