5 Things I Wish I Knew About Aquascaping

Have you seen those mind-blowing aquascapes that look like beautiful underwater gardens, and thought to yourself, “How do I make that?” Me too! Since I’m not an aquascaper by any means, I checked out “Sunken Gardens” by Karen A. Randall and “Aquascaping” by George Farmer to see what the experts think are the most important things you need to know to get started with aquascaping.
