Ive been wanting to plant my not so very planted shrimp tank up for months, and ive been trying to find the best plants to look nice (large in the back to smallest in the foreground) and i come across the scaped for you section. I am pretty much a novice at planting tanks as this is my first ever time doing it. Firstly id say that while this does come with a layout guide, it is only a guide and not a "how to" because it is only an image that is provided and nothing else. This isnt a bad thing of course because your tank is you own and you can do whatever you want with it. It took me about 2-3 hours to fully complete how i wanted it and set it up with the plants and after a few days of settling in looks so much better than i expected it. I love it and i think my shrimps do too :) - one thing to note i would say is if youre buying spider wood, make sure you weight it down or soak it for a long time before putting it in the tank as your first placement will most definitely float and cause some frustration. Id definitely buy this or another scaped for you option in the future if i wanted to do this again.

Yes I think it gives a really good idea and more direction for people. There has always been a lot of hype about ADA and rightly so in my opinion. Their 200 page catalogue is impressive and of course goes into huge detail which I think you would like.
Have you seen it?
Thank you so much for this artcile, it saved me time!
Thanks for this. There seems to be a lot of ‘hype’ about ADA. This hasn’t completely dispelled that impression, but at least I have an overall picture now.
