From a first nano planted tank to a full high-tech aquascape. Each one curates the best picks across our guides for a specific situation.

First Planted Nano Tank Kit

Start your first planted nano tank the right way with a curated kit of small tanks, nano lighting, gentle filtration and beginner substrate picks.

Build a high-tech planted tank with a full CO2 system, precise regulators, diffusers and drop checkers plus strong lighting for lush carpet growth.

Grow easy plants without CO2 using a forgiving low-tech setup: an all-in-one kit, moderate LED light, simple filtration and root tab feeding.

Create a classic Iwagumi scape with a rimless tank, seiryu and dragon stone hardscape, aqua soil and the tools to plant a clean carpet.

Set up a thriving shrimp colony with a nano tank, safe sponge filtration, active substrate, gentle heating and reliable water test kits.

Give your betta a planted home with a proper betta tank, soft lighting, a gentle sponge filter and a heater plus a conditioner for safe water.

Equip your workbench with complete aquascaping tool kits, precision scissors, substrate spatulas and algae scrapers for clean, controlled layouts.

Take control of algae with glass scrapers, surface skimmers for a clean film-free top, powerheads for flow and test kits to fix the imbalance.

Build a striking layout foundation with dragon stone, spider wood and manzanita driftwood plus lava rock to anchor plants and shape depth.

Fuel lush plant growth with liquid fertilizers, root tabs and complete nutrients, dosed precisely using pumps and measured with bubble counters.

Upgrade your filtration with a powerful canister filter, quality biological media, polishing filter floss and a prefilter sponge to protect intakes.

Go all-in with a low-iron rimless tank, sturdy stand, premium lighting, canister filtration and a full CO2 system for a showpiece aquascape.
