JBL Dreamscape®
Aquascaping aquarium type JBL Dreamscape®
With this aquarium in your living space you’re guaranteed to make heads turn. The reproduction of a mountain landscape with jagged rocks, valleys and meadows fascinates everyone. Small shrimps bustle about in the valleys and keep them clean. This aquarium style is called aquascaping.
Aquascaping is a style where landscapes above the water are recreated as underwater landscapes. This aquarium represents a mountain landscape with valleys and forests. After a few days the plants start growing and grow together into one unit. With this aquascaping aquarium you’re guaranteed to make all heads turn.
Modelled on nature
As already described, a landscape above water, such as a mountain landscape serves as a model. The sky is the limit for your imagination! Aquascapers also reproduce mountain gorges, forests with fallen trees and even deserts with cacti! If you like a model, take a photo of it and reproduce it under water. This is very demanding and not easy. But that is just the challenge for aquascapers.

Video about the setup of the JBL Dreamscape®
In a short 7 minute video we show you what the completed aquarium will look like and how to set it up step by step. Directly after the setup the plants have not yet developed properly. This will take around two weeks.
How to maintain your aquascaping aquarium
Please make sure that you add enough CO2 from day one.
Start with the fertilisation 1 week after the initial start of the aquarium.
Use a complete fertiliser ( JBL PROFLORA Ferropol 15 ml weekly), best with an additional daily fertiliser ( JBL PROFLORA Ferropol 24 ), which you add into the aquarium in the morning, before switching on the lighting. Start with 50 % of the normal dosage and increase as the plants grow.
After 5-6 weeks you can start pruning the plants.
The plant species will determine how often you need to prune.
Please always remove dying or wilting leaves – this can be easily done with long scissors ( JBL PROSCAPE TOOLS S STRAIGHT ).
Feeding
2x daily as much as the fish can eat in 2 minutes.
