This aquascape blend elements of diorama construction with nature style principles. Lush planting gives the impression of rocks rising through natural vegetation, and colorful stems draw our eyes to the horizon line. A number of aquatic species are blended together to give naturalistic feel, while the rocks cast just enough shadows to contrast with the brightly planted areas. All the elements come together to bring a slice of nature into the home.
