Build Your Own Iwagumi Aquascape - Starter Kit

BYOB Build Your Own Iwagumi Aquascape Starter Kit

We love a good Iwagumi aquarium around here. With our customizable Build Your Own Iwagumi Aquascape Starter Kit, you can select all the essential structural components for your next planted tank. Start by choosing your aquarium size, then move on to curate your stones, aquatic plants, and substrate.

Iwagumi aquascaping is an iconic style known for strategic rock formations, minimal planting (often with carpeting aquatic plants), and open space where schooling nano fish take center stage. It remains one of our favorite planted aquarium styles, and we’ve gathered our top picks for the core elements of an Iwagumi setup. Pick your tank and get started today!
