Aquascaping also known as planted tanks

Recently, or maybe not, I think it been quite a long time. Since I actually tested and try out some aquascaping. Okok.. the term aquascaping does not mean scuba diving.. =\ It got nothing related to that. (I always got people asking where I dive, when I tell them my currently hobby is aquascaping...)

Okok it more like doing gardening, but just that it is under water. It take alot of skills, practices and of cos alot of patient before one can actually do it out. I still learning... not yet the pro.. but still can call it an MASTERPIECE. Just that I must learn how to get rid of those irritating algae.

But then if you still wondering what I am talking about, think best is post some photos.

okok here below is my room tank, Take me quite a while before I set it up, and to be honest, I kill alot of plants in the process to master the skill of how not to let a plant die. The lighting, the soil, the fertilizer all these minor minor stuff adds up on how well yr tank will look like.

And then after..

Look abit botak right... ok la.. I still trying and testing mah.. So it ok la. You should see the "before I set up this tank" tank, must worse then what you are looking at it, but give it a few more months, once the moss grows, and kick in I show you a better one.

So now the crave is there, I want to set up more, so I did, I set up another tank in my office..

and there you go.

Cool huh... Not so bad for a noob right? And my camp mates actually like it.. So my hand started to itch again, so a few weeks back I done up my tank in the living room. This time with some artistic mind, and wa la..
