About Scapesome

Scapesome is a planning tool for planted aquariums. You place real rocks, wood, plants, and fish in a 3D tank at your own dimensions, see how the scape grows in at the month you pick, and ask whether the combination will work — before you buy anything or glue anything down.

What it does

Scape it

Seiryu stone, monte carlo, spider wood, cherry shrimp — every item is a real one with a data card, and you place each one by hand.

See it real

Rules work out each plant’s height and spread at the month you pick, and an image model draws on top of that — so it’s your scape growing in, not a stock picture.

Know it’ll work

One click reviews what you placed: what could harm your livestock, what won’t grow in as planned, and what to know before you buy.

How the checks work

Rules tied to your setup

Fixed rules read the numbers on each data card: the temperature range your livestock share, who eats whom, stocking load, light and CO₂ against what each plant needs, and what your hardscape does to KH and GH.

Reviewing the whole combination

On top of those rules, a model looks for problems they don’t cover and writes them up in plain English. Safety points are never dropped, and every point names the condition behind it.

Making your own decision

It’s a second pair of eyes, not a guarantee; the call stays yours.

Where the data comes from

Species, materials and tank sizes

462 entries: 188 plants, 160 fish, shrimp, snails and amphibians, 32 rocks and woods, 48 substrates, and 34 tank sizes.

Checking the recorded requirements

The numbers on every plant, animal, rock, wood, and substrate entry are checked against published species references, grower data, and product pages.

What it doesn’t do

  • It won’t scape for you. You place every rock; it checks what you placed, and never offers a few scapes to pick from.
  • It won’t recommend a brand or a shop, and it doesn’t show prices.
  • The review doesn’t check fertilizing or water chemistry. You can ask about either in the chat.
  • It needs a computer. This page and the library read fine on a phone; placing a tank doesn’t.
