To create an aqua scape, various tools are needed to assist in the landscaping of the aquarium. Typical tools used in aquascaping include: 
  1. Aquarium tweezers and scissors: These tools allow for precise placement of aquatic plants, as well as cutting and trimming of plants and other elements in the aquarium. 
  2. Aquarium spatulas: spatulas are used for smoothing the substrate and also for removing algae from hard surfaces in the aquarium. 
  3. Water flow pump and filter: Controlling the water flow is crucial for a healthy aqua scape. A suitable pump supports water circulation and nutrient distribution in the aquarium. 
  4. A heater to keep the water temperature constant. 
  5. For cleaning and water changes: ground cleaner, hose and glass cleaner 
  6. Suitable lighting and a timer 
  7. Plastic gloves are sometimes useful for handling the soil and plants.

These aquarium accessories are needed to successfully design and maintain an aquascape and create an attractive and healthy aquascape.
