In brief

This video shows how James Findley and The Green Machine create a shallow, visually cohesive aquascape in a 120x30x20cm ADA Cube Garden tank. You’ll follow their process for layering substrate, arranging hardscaping, and planting to achieve a balanced, natural look. Perfect for aquascapers who appreciate minimalist, continuous designs.

Questions & answers

What tank size is used in this aquascape?

The aquascape is built in a 120x30x20cm ADA Cube Garden 120-F tank.

Are the substrate and soil layers visible in the final design?

No, the substrate layers (Powersand and Amazonia Aquasoil) are fully covered by plants and hardscaping.
