Project Overview

This residential aquascape project was inspired by traditional Japanese garden design principles, specifically the concept of "shinrin-yoku" or forest bathing. The 75-gallon aquarium creates a miniature ecosystem that brings the tranquility of nature indoors.

The design follows the Iwagumi layout style, which emphasizes simplicity and natural beauty. The dwarf hairgrass carpet creates a lush, green foundation that mimics a peaceful meadow, while carefully placed stones represent mountains and islands in the landscape.

The crystal shrimp colony adds life and movement to the aquascape, while the CO2 injection system ensures optimal plant growth and health. The entire system is designed to be low-maintenance while providing maximum visual impact and therapeutic benefits.
