Aquascape “Isle of No Return”

With this guide we would like to give you the best possible opportunities for getting the most from your aquariums. We know that the inspiration and desire to take up this great hobby often starts from a beautiful aquarium that you have witnessed; perhaps at a friend’s home, in a magazine, website, or at an aquatic retailer. Unfortunately, we also know that many new aquarium owners will give up this hobby; sometimes after only six to twelve months. So, why is this?

Through this publication we will assist you in ensuring a successful start. We highlight the fundamental conditions that you must be aware of whether you are a beginner or an experienced aquarist.

December update showbak

Hello fellow aquascapers! My name is Kim Pulkki and I live in a town called Eskilstuna and it´s located in the beautiful country of Sweden. I have two kids, 5 & 3 and a lovely girlfriend. We live in a house nearby the mossy and thick Swedish forests. I work as a medical technical engineer and I am only 35 years young.I was a bit chocked when ASW selected my planted aquarium as Aquascape of the Month. It is an honor to enter this hall of very talented aquascapers from all around the world. Thanks ASW!

My aquatic journey started when I was about 10 when I got my first tank. It was a 60L with golden frames. More tanks have follow ever since. My interest for the planted tank began in 2007 with a 180L. I had plants but I didn’t know the names. This is how the addiction started.
