Achieving a grand sense of scale is often one of the most appealing goals in creating an aquatic garden. Like in the art of Bonsai, mimicking the shapes and scale of full size natural scenes and landscapes is at the core of aquascaping. Despite the imposed limitation of space of a glass box in a cramped urban dwelling, a nature aquarium can reflect a microcosm of the sublime that is nature. This site is dedicated to the art of the bonsai-aquarium, the bookshelf aquarium, the freshwater planted nano-tanks, the mini-swamps and the wabi-kusa.
