Aquarium planner for planted tanks

No. You scape it; this aquarium planner shows you how it grows in and checks whether it will work. It never places a rock for you and never offers “a few scapes to pick from.”

Planning is free with an account. The library and calculators are free to browse without signing in. The review, follow-up questions and grown-in images run on credits: sign in and you get 100 free credits to try them. When you need more, see the plans on the pricing page.

Check the library above: it lists 460+ plants, fish, shrimp, snails, rocks, woods and substrates you can place, and you can pick a standard tank or enter your own size. Something missing? Tell us from the library page and we add the most-requested first.

Bringing in your own pieces is on our list. For now, match them in the library: pick the closest stone or wood, choose from its shapes, then resize, turn, tilt and recolor it until it looks like yours. Can’t find anything close? Tell us about it from the library page. We add new shapes and species based on what people ask for, most-requested first.

Ask the aquarium planner. Point to the spot and it suggests plants from the library that suit your light and CO₂, with the reason for each. You decide what goes in.

The image follows your layout: stones stay where you put them, and each plant is grown to the month you pick from its own growth data. Treat it as a preview, not a promise. Real growth also depends on your light, CO₂, fertilizer and care.

It reads your setup, what you placed and each species’ data. It looks for problems on top of a fixed set of safety rules (temperature overlap, who eats whom, stocking), and safety points are never dropped. Every point names the condition behind it. It’s a second pair of eyes, not a guarantee; the call stays yours.

Your tanks, versions and images are stored on our server and only used to plan your tank and make its images. You can delete your account and data at any time.

Use this aquarium planner as a fish tank builder: choose your tank size and place rocks, wood, plants and fish in 3D. Try the arrangement by hand, then preview how it grows in and check it against your setup.

The aquarium planner runs in your desktop browser, with nothing to install. Use it as a fish tank planner to choose real plants and hardscape from the library, adjust their size and position, and try your own arrangement.

Yes. Use the aquarium planner to choose your tank size and place real rocks, wood, plants and fish by hand. You choose the arrangement; the 3D view, grown-in images and tank checks help you decide what to change before buying materials.
