I-Aquascaping imele umklamo wesimanje we-aquarium wesimanje futhi ongajwayelekile. Ayikho imingcele ekudaleni lapho uklama izindawo ezingaphansi kwamanzi. Umpetha womhlaba we-aquascaping u-Oliver Knott uchaza ukuqaliswa okufanele.
Izintaba ezinhle e-Alps ezinezimfunda eziluhlaza namahlathi ajulile aluhlaza. Okungenani yilokho ongase ukucabange lapho ubheka isithombe esihambisanayo. Kodwa iphutha: Akukhona mayelana nezwe, kodwa mayelana ne-aquarium eklanywe ngokungajwayelekile. Indlela engemuva kwayo ibizwa nge-aquascaping (esuselwa egameni lesiNgisi elithi landscape). "Kimi, i-aquascaping ayilutho ngaphandle kwengadi engaphansi kwamanzi, idizayini yobuhle bezindawo zasemanzini - efana nokuklanywa kwezingadi. Ama-scape angaphansi kwamanzi angamangalisa,” kusho umklami we-aquarium u-Oliver Knott.
I-Aquascaping yazalwa cishe ngo-1990. Ngaleso sikhathi, uTakashi Amano waseJapane waveza umhlaba ongaphansi kwamanzi owawungakaze ubonwe ngaphambili ngencwadi yakhe ethi "Naturaquarien". U-Amano akaqondi ukuthi izindawo ezihlala emanzini zemvelo ziyisithombe esingu-1:1 sama-biotopes wangempela, kodwa ingxenye encane yemvelo. “Amathuba awanamkhawulo. Akukhathalekile ukuthi ukwakhiwa kwamadwala, isiqhingi, umfudlana, noma isiphunzi sesihlahla esifile esigcwele ubulembu: yonke into ingakopishwa,” kusho uKnott.
Lolu hlobo lwama-aquarists luhloselwe ukukhanga izethameli ezincane ikakhulukazi, ngoba lungaletha "isitayela" somuntu ngamunye. “Ekugcineni, ayikho into enhle njengokubuka izitshalo zinyakaza futhi izakhamuzi zezwe elihle elingaphansi kwamanzi zinyakaza ngemva komsebenzi onzima wosuku,” kuthakasela uKnott. Manje sekukhona ngisho imiqhudelwano yamazwe ngamazwe lapho kuklonyeliswa khona izindawo ezihamba phambili zangaphansi kwamanzi. UKnott wayesekwazile ukuvikela isicoco somhlaba.
Ukukhethwa Kwezilwane Kufanele Kucatshangelwe Ngokucophelela
Kodwa abantu abanentshisekelo bangakwazi kanjani ukuphinda badale indawo abayifunayo ngefomethi encane ngaphansi kwamanzi? U-Oliver Knott unikeza imiyalelo ephelele yalokhu encwadini yakhe ethi "Aquascaping". Isibonelo, utusa ukungabeki itshe elikhulu kunawo wonke phakathi kwechibi, kodwa lihlehliswe kancane, kwesokunxele noma kwesokudla phakathi nendawo. Amanye amatshe kufanele ahlelwe ukuze umphumela uthuthukiswe. Izimpande zingabuye zihlotshiswe ngamatshe. Lokhu kudala umbono wokuthi izimpande namatshe zakha iyunithi, okuholela "kumphumela omangalisayo we-optical".
Ukutshala kudlala indima ebalulekile, njengoba izitshalo "zipenda" izithombe. Amaqembu amakhulu ezitshalo ezifanayo ngokuvamile azosebenza kangcono kunezinye, kusho u-Knott. Ama-accents angasethwa futhi ngezitshalo ezibomvu noma amaqabunga akhethekile. Ukuze ugcine ukubuka konke, kufanele uqale ngezitshalo ezingaphambili ngaphambi kokudlulela ezitshalweni zangemuva ngokusebenzisa indawo ephakathi.
Futhi-ke, ukukhetha kwezilwane kufanele futhi kucatshangelwe ngokucophelela. Kungcono ukwenza uhlu lwezifiso zezinhlanzi kanye nezidingo zabo okudingeka zihlangatshezwe kusengaphambili. Ngemuva kwakho konke, ngokusho kuka-Knott, umgomo omkhulu we-aquascaping "ukwenza i-oasis encane eluhlaza enikeza abahlali bayo impilo enhle futhi idale injabulo nokuphumula".
