Aquascaping a Tropical Sinkhole | Building a Contest Aquarium
In this video, I build my Tropical Sinkhole — a 60-liter contest aquarium designed around the idea of a natural underwater sinkhole.
From the initial hardscape to the planting and final details, I take you through the complete aquascaping process and show how the layout comes together.
This aquascape was created as a contest aquarium, with a focus on creating depth, perspective and a natural underwater landscape.
