This is a freshwater planted-aquarium framework. Exact equipment, water targets and stocking choices depend on the tank, tap water and species you plan to keep.
Tanks are pickup only. Measure the space, allow room for equipment and use a level stand that can safely support the filled aquarium. Keep the tank away from direct sun and unstable heat.
Choose your tank →Plan equipment before hardscape. Match filtration to tank volume and planned stocking. Choose lighting for the plants you want; add a heater only when livestock needs a stable tropical temperature.
Explore filtration →Add the substrate and position rocks or driftwood. This is also a good time to attach mosses, Anubias, Bucephalandra and Java ferns to the hardscape. Keep suitable plants moist while you work.
Shop soil, rocks, driftwood & plants →Start the filter and heater once the tank is filled. Finish planting rooted and carpeting plants, condition the tap water, then fill the tank slowly to avoid disturbing the substrate and layout.
Complete your planting →Use test results, not a fixed number of days. Keep the filter running continuously and test the water. Do not add livestock just because the water looks clear — confirm ammonia and nitrite are at safe levels before stocking.
Explore water care →Livestock is not part of this offer. Once the aquarium is cycled, introduce compatible fish or shrimp in stages, acclimate them carefully and keep monitoring water quality. Avoid fully stocking a new system at once.
Read acclimation guidance →Condition tap water, run the filter continuously and use water tests to confirm the aquarium is ready. Ammonia and nitrite must be at safe levels before fish or shrimp are introduced; stock gradually and continue monitoring.
Shop water care →Bring us a water sample. We’ll test it free.
Before adding fish or shrimp, bring a sample of your aquarium water to our Wetherill Park store.
Our team can test the key water parameters and help you understand whether the tank is ready for livestock.
This selection introduces a few popular aquascaping approaches — inspiration, not a catalogue of every style. Mix, adapt or explore any direction that suits your space and maintenance routine.
Layered plants, irregular stone placement and a softer overgrown composition.
A disciplined rock composition, low carpeting plants and generous open space create a calm landscape.
Choose the tank, plants and setup essentials that work together, then follow the roadmap to build with confidence from day one.
Offer ends 15 September 2026. Available on all tanks, all aquatic plants and selected setup essentials. Plant bundles, Bundle Deals and livestock are not included.
