What Is Aquascaping?

Aquascaping is basically gardening under the water inside of an aquarium. This underwater landscape adds interesting visual interest by adding and arranging design elements and aquatic plants, rocks, stones, driftwood and more into an aquarium. Decorating the tank depends on the aquarium size and varies based on how creative the aquarium owner desires to be. The main goal being to add aesthetics and interest to any room using a wide array of color, texture and eye-catching design.

Ideas For Aquascaping Design

Beside selecting specific species of fish, with aquascaping the aquarium owner selects the plants and other visual elements to be placed inside the tank. The decorative direction is endless!

Aquascape underwater designs can be any thematic expression like the popular Dutch or Japanese-inspired style decorations or mountains, deserts, jungles, waterfalls and much more.

Thomas Dongan, the fourth royal governor of New York, was granted an 800-acre parcel of land in 1683 that included New Hyde Park. It was known as “Dongan’s Farm.” Dongan built a mansion on what is now Lakeville Road. In 1691 Dongan fled to New England and then Ireland, as King James II and his Catholic forces failed to regain power in England and Ireland.

In 1715, Dongan’s estate was sold to George Clarke (who was Secretary of the Provence of New York). He named it Hyde Park in honor of his wife, Ann Hyde. Clarke sold the property in 1783 and in the early 19th century it was parceled up and sold as farm land. Raising cattle was a chief agricultural enterprise from Dongan’s time until the mid-19th century, when cattle farming in the expanding American West forced the farmers into other pursuits.

When a post office opened in 1871, the name was changed from Hyde Park to New Hyde Park to avoid confusion with the upstate Hyde Park.

I called Island Fish & Reef to come remove an aquarium that had been left behind in my home. They were able to provide their service in a quick and professional manner. They sent two technicians who were very polite and careful while they were in my home and they worked quickly and cleanly. Though I no longer have a fish tank I can confidently recommend them for their excellent work. The quality of their service is top notch 5 stars for sure!

Island Fish and Reef is truly excellent. I was very lucky to find them a few years ago to move a 120g reef tank to our office. They did a great job and have been coming weekly for maintenance ever since. Downs and his team are very knowledgeable, professional, and always go the extra mile. They have sourced fish, corals, and equipment that made perfect additions to our system. They do a great job coming up with creative custom solutions to any problem we come across. Thank you!
