About Algaloo

Algaloo is an independent educational reference about aquascaping and planted aquariums. Each technique is presented in seven short sections: an overview, why it matters, what you need, how to do it, common mistakes to avoid, tips for best results, and a set of frequently asked questions.

The goal is plain language. We write for people who keep, or want to keep, a planted tank — whether it is a first low-tech scape or a carefully balanced high-light layout.

The guide is organised into five groups — Layout & Composition, Hardscape & Substrate, Lighting, CO₂ & Fertilization, Aquatic Plants, and Maintenance & Troubleshooting — so readers can browse by category or jump straight to a technique.

Algaloo is run independently and does not sell equipment, plants, or livestock, and does not accept payment for listings. Content is provided for general information and education only.
