# Aquascaping Tanks

Aquascaping is the art of laying out aquatic plants, rocks, stones, substrate, gravel, driftwood and other materials to create an appealing tank design. There are several popular aquascaping tank styles to choose from. Aquascaping tanks are beautiful to look at and are especially rewarding when time is put into their appearance.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced aquarium enthusiast, aquascpaing a tank is an exciting hobby that requires a skill of arranging plants, hardscape materials, and substrate alike to make a beautiful setup. There are several factors which need to be taken into consideration in order to build the aquascaping tank you’ve always dreamed of. Aquascaping supplies include [**Lighting**](/product-category/lighting/), [**water filters**](/product-category/filter-reactor-media/), carbon dioxide, fertilizers, [**water parameters**](/2021/11/27/important-water-parameters-for-fish-in-planted-tanks/), [**substrate**](/product-category/gravel-substrates/), hardscape materials, and proportion, which are just some of the essentials that go into building your aquascaping aquarium. Read here for [**the basics of aquascaping**](/2022/02/15/1-aquascaping-solution-the-basics-introducing-aquascaping/).

## Aquascaping Aquariums

Some aquarium hobbyists spend a considerable amount of time drawing up their aquarium design before beginning the actual aquascaping process. In addition to layout, aquarists should also consider filtration, lighting, algae growth, proportion, as well as the appropriate shrimp and fish species as they design their aquascaping tank.

Some of the most popular aquascaping aquarium builds include the Dutch Aquarium, Jungle Aquarium, Iwagumi Aquarium, and Nature Aquarium. Depending on your level of experience or preference, a certain aquarium style may be the better choice. Below is an overview of just a few of our favorite styles if you plan to aquascape your own aquarium. Read more about practical [**aquascaping techniques**](/2020/02/20/aquascaping-101-an-aquascaping-technique-guide/) and about [**what is aquascaping**](/2021/10/11/what-is-aquascaping/) here.

### The Dutch Aquarium

![Dutch Aquarium Aquascaping](https://sevenports.com/wp-content/uploads/dutch-aquarium-aquascaping.jpg)

This aquascaping tank style, called the Dutch aquarium, was popularized in the 1930s. The Dutch tank style is focused on the arrangement of aquatic plants without hardscape materials, rocks, or driftwood. Aquarists need to have a good understanding of aquatic plants in order to create this attractive aquascaping style.

### The Jungle Aquarium

![Jungle Aquarium](https://sevenports.com/wp-content/uploads/jungle-aquarium-aquascaping.jpg)

This simple aquacaping style is one of these easier styles to create. As suggested by its name, the final setup should have the appearance of a wild, untamed jungle. The benefit of choosing this style is that it requires less maintenance than other setups. In addition, a number of fish species thrive in the thick vegetation environment that this aquascaping tank style offers.

### The Iwagumi Aquarium

![Iwagumi Aquarium Aquascaping](https://sevenports.com/wp-content/uploads/iwagumi-aquarium-aquascaping.jpg)

This Iwagumi aquascape tank is an asymmetrical, Japanese style, and gets its name from a Japanese gardening technique. The Iwagumi aquarium setup is comprised mainly of rocks and only a few plants. A simple style using low-growing plants, three rocks, and a few small fish, this aquascaping tank style is designed with simplicity in mind. The Iwagumi tank setup gives a peaceful and calming feeling to the viewer. Although it is simple, it may take many attempts to get the Iwagumi layout to look just right.

### The Nature Aquarium

![Nature Aquarium](https://sevenports.com/wp-content/uploads/nature-aquarium-aquascaping.jpg)

Unlike the Dutch aquarium style, the Nature aquarium setup is designed to be a snapshot of a freshwater scene from nature. Nature aquariums can mimic the natural beauty of rainforests, mountains, hillsides, and valleys. For this aquascaping tank style, hardscape materials and plants alike are needed for your setup. You and your viewers alike will enjoy the natural scene that this aquarium style provides.

### Gravel & Substrates

As you set up your aquascaping tank, you will need to also choose the right [**substrates**](/product-category/gravel-substrates/) for your aquarium. Aquatic plants absorb nutrients not only through their leaves, but also through their roots, which makes a correct selection of aquascaping substrate very important. Depending on the size of your plants, the correct choice of substrate will ensure your plants will grow proportionately to their species’ size, development, and color.
