When you set up a Dutch-style aquarium, your layout is not too strict about depth and balance; just a relatively thick and stable substrate is enough. However, with iwagumi and aquascaping-style aquariums, creating a flat substrate can easily lead to monotony. Therefore, today we would like to guide you through a few small tricks to make the substrate in your aquascape less monotonous and more balanced.

First.
As Takashi Amano said! Learn from nature to create from nature. First, choose a beautiful landscape picture that you like. Then, set the substrate exactly like in the landscape picture. Note that when setting this substrate, we recommend that you limit spreading the substrate too flat; secondly, you should raise the substrate layer in the background higher, the higher the better, so that when looking at the tank, it will appear deeper.
Next, adjust the golden ratio! For beginners, it may be a bit unfamiliar, but for those who have been in the hobby for a long time, the term golden ratio is no stranger! It is the optimal point in your layout. The golden ratio is placed at the 2/3 length position of the tank. It will be the position for the largest plant, a submerged red-leaf plant, a deep channel, a pathway, or a stream. Arranging the layout based on the golden ratio will help your tank become more balanced.
Finally, how can you maintain this layout during use? At this point, after finishing the layout, you should combine small rocks and driftwood. The combination of small rocks and driftwood in the tank helps stabilize your layout! It won’t be flattened by the currents. Additionally, it also helps your tank appear deeper and more detailed!
Moreover, depending on your own creativity, you can create some new techniques, but try to maintain the balance in the overall components of the tank!
WISH YOU SUCCESS
