Beginner-Friendly Aquascaping Workshop


Join us for a hands-on introduction to aquascaping—the art of designing beautiful, natural-looking aquarium layouts. Whether you’re setting up your first tank or looking to refresh an existing one, we’ll walk you through the basics of plant selection, hardscape placement, lighting, and simple maintenance routines that keep everything thriving.

Our team will demonstrate two complete layout styles—one planted “jungle” look and one clean, minimalist design—and you’ll get the chance to try your hand at arranging hardscape pieces yourself. We’ll also go over beginner-friendly plants and how to pick species that fit your tank size, lighting, and skill level.

This workshop is free, family-friendly, and perfect for anyone curious about building a more beautiful aquarium at home. Space is limited, so feel free to call ahead to reserve a spot. All supplies used in the demo—and plenty of beginner plants—will be available at the Ridgemont Plaza store throughout the day.
