Build Your Aquascape

Find the essentials for planted tanks, from aquarium plants and substrate to rocks, wood, and everyday care supplies.


Aquarium Plants

Bring color, texture, and natural structure to your aquarium with aquatic plants for a range of layouts. Consider plant size, light needs, and growth habits as you plan your tank. Pair foreground, midground, and background plants to create depth, and choose options that fit the equipment and maintenance routine you can support.


Hardscape Materials

Set the foundation for your aquascape with rocks, driftwood, and other hardscape materials. Arrange these pieces before planting to test the tank’s balance, focal point, and open swimming space. Different shapes and textures can suggest hillsides, forests, or riverbeds. Rinse and prepare materials appropriately before adding them to your aquarium.


Substrate and Supplies

Choose substrate and aquarium supplies that match your plants, tank size, and maintenance habits. A suitable planting base helps anchor roots, while basic tools make trimming and arranging easier. Stock up on the essentials you use to care for a planted aquarium, and check that each product fits your setup before adding it to your routine.
