Caves, which can very easily be built from slab-shaped stones or stones with holes, are particular- ly well accepted (see page 13, please). • Large plants belong to the back pane of the aquarium, otherwise they will obstruct the view. In the foreground, small and lawn- forming plants should be planted. • By means of suitable decoration material, technical equipment in the aquarium (filter, heater, etc.) can be hidden in such a way that they become “invisible” or at least quite unobtrusive. The water must flow around the heater in order to have the warmth distributed evenly. • Include a sufficiently large free zone as swimming space for lively fish. Before setting up your aquarium you should think about the ideal layout. A sketch describing all rock arranging, roots and plants is a good basis for planning the aquarium landscape. sera – The CD is an ideal aid for this. You can replace all plants and decoration as often as you like. Just continue to change things if you do not like it. If you are not sure you can just save the present planning state. So you can watch your designs as often as you like.
