Fun Aquariums and Terrariums
Aquariums are fun and a great way to transform any space into a relaxing tranquil environment. Aquariums no matter how small require dedication and commitment. Even though you will not be able to pet your fish or take them for a walk, they will depend on you and trust that you will give them a great space to live in your home. NOTE: Make sure you do your research before buying your fish and before getting into the hobby. There is nothing worse then waking up to dead fish in the morning. :( SCAPE is a local, non profit group formed of the most dedicated Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts in Southern California who, together, form a movement to promote awareness and knowledge of the science, art, and beauty of planted tanks among both hobbyists and retailers.

Fun, Big or Small
Aquariums whether large or small can create a relaxing place in any home or business. From saltwater to freshwater tanks, each take precise care and dedication for them to flourish and thrive. When you are ready to add some fish, do your research and make sure your water conditions ready for the type of fish you choose. Also make sure your choosing the right type of fish that will live peacefully together. This is important to reduce stress and possibly loss of fish.
Give your new Betta a proper homeIf you just bought a new Betta or thinking of getting one, give it a good home. This includes a proper size tank and a living environment if you can. The tank featured in this video is only 2 gallons with a small palm HOB filter and some inexpensive plants. Please don't put them in a small plastic box aquarium. They will love you for it.
Another one of my relaxing hobbies is creating small terrariums. These are very easy to create and can add beauty in any room.
99% of my terrariums are kept in my covered outdoor patio where the temperature year round does not fluctuate that much. Again it is always good to research what type of plants, mosses and succulents you use when creating your terrariums. Terrariums are equally I think just as rewarding to create as freshwater aquascapes. Terrariums can be created for practically any environment, from tropical to desert.
