A hardscape-only aquascape, perfected and created by the Aquarium Design Group which is depicted in the first picture below, refers to an aquatic setup where the main focus is on creating an underwater landscape using various hard materials such as rocks, and driftwood, without the inclusion of live aquatic plants. This style of aquascape emphasizes the artistic arrangement of hardscape elements to create a visually striking underwater scene and also the beauty of the livestock. With careful consideration of placement, shape, and texture, the hardscape elements become the focal point, creating a harmonious balance and captivating aesthetic appeal. These hardscape-only aquascapes can showcase intricate stone layouts, and captivating wood arrangements, allowing the main focus of the tank to be the fish, inverts, and snails.
