Three, fish tank landscaping methods
1. stepped landscaping method: suitable for wall-mounted landscaping aquariums. The basic modeling is a step-by-step setting technique from the grass in the background to the foreground, and Dutch landscaping belongs to this method. Essentials: First, put matching materials, such as stones or flowing wood. Pay attention to the texture of materials when placing, and show regular rhythm on irregular materials. The same wood and stone can have different effects from different angles, and the matching materials and aquatic plants should be connected together, so as to have a continuous sense of integrity. At the beginning, some fast-growing aquatic plants can be planted in the background, and some slow-growing aquatic plants can be planted in the front and middle scenes. In addition to foreground grass, all kinds of aquatic plants should be clustered as much as possible. An aquarium has only one cluster of the same kind of aquatic plants, and the size and arrangement of each cluster of aquatic plants are as irregular as possible to avoid making the landscape too rigid. In principle, the stepped scenery method is that the foreground gradually increases from the background, but several tall but not too dense aquatic plants can also be used as the foreground decoration, which can better show the three-dimensional sense of the landscape.
2. Double-sided framing method: it is mostly a framing method that can be viewed on both sides in an aquarium with zoning landscaping. Essentials: In principle, the essentials of landscaping are the same as those of step-by-step landscaping, but both sides should have aesthetic feeling when landscaping, because both sides are ornamental. The middle line of the aquarium can be used as the position of planting grass in the background, and then planting grass in the middle and foreground on both sides can better highlight the layering and three-dimensional sense of the landscape, especially the aquarium with smaller width can better reflect the interest of both sides of the landscape.
3. Three-dimensional aquatic plants and aquarium landscaping: In addition to enjoying the landscaping in the water, there should also be landscaping on the water surface. Main point: Under normal circumstances, the open aquarium and lamps hanging from the ceiling can better show the growing beauty of three-dimensional aquatic plant landscaping. When setting up, you can use more aquatic plants, so that you can enjoy the fun of water and water landscaping changes. Three-dimensional water grass landscaping trough is a kind of difficult landscaping, because it needs more collocation and more problems to be considered in landscaping, so it is a very challenging landscaping.
