Planted Aqua

Have you ever wondered how beautiful the aquatic life is?

Indeed the elegance of underwater plants swaying beautifully as water flows through them and brightly colored fishes playing and grazing around them against a dark background is a mesmerizing experience to witness.

Probably this is the reason why a planted tank hobbyist ventured into the art of creating such a biotope for himself/herself to be able to watch it grow, mature and enchant its spectators.

Being a practitioner of such a beautiful art myself, I do acknowledge the time and effort put into the system. At times it might become tedious and difficult to manage the light and fertilizer levels, the plant growth and the fauna health.

This is the prime goal behind building such an app to make our lives a little easier by bringing all the tools and resources in one platform with the access to helpful insights and suggestions.

Thus, Planted Aqua was born.....
