Un aquascape de récif ou d’eau salée est une installation d’aquarium qui reproduit un environnement marin, se concentrant sur la culture de la vie marine, en particulier des coraux, aux côtés de divers poissons et invertébrés d’eau salée. Il implique l’agencement soigné de roches vivantes, de formations coralliennes et de substrat pour créer un écosystème esthétiquement agréable et biologiquement fonctionnel. Ce type d’aquascape nécessite un équipement spécialisé pour maintenir la qualité de l’eau, l’éclairage et le flux pour soutenir les besoins uniques des espèces marines. L’objectif est de créer un paysage sous-marin vibrant et dynamique qui reflète la complexité et la beauté des récifs coralliens naturels.
A reef or saltwater aquascape is an aquarium setup that replicates a marine environment, focusing on the cultivation of marine life, particularly corals, alongside various saltwater fish and invertebrates. It involves carefully arranged live rock, coral formations, and substrate to create an aesthetically pleasing and biologically functional ecosystem. This type of aquascape requires specialized equipment for maintaining water quality, lighting, and flow to support the unique needs of marine species. The goal is to create a vibrant, dynamic underwater landscape that mirrors the complexity and beauty of natural coral reefs.

Standard Reef Aquascape: This is the most common style, featuring a mix of hard and soft corals, live rock, and a variety of fish and invertebrates. The focus is on creating a balanced, natural-looking marine environment.
SPS Dominant: SPS (Small Polyp Stony) corals are the main focus in this aquascape. These corals require strong lighting and water flow, and the aquascape is designed to meet these needs while showcasing the corals’ colors and shapes.


LPS Dominant: Focusing on LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals, this style features corals with larger, fleshy polyps. LPS corals often have vibrant colors and unique textures, and the aquascape is designed to highlight these features.
Mixed Reef: This style combines SPS, LPS, soft corals, and various fish and invertebrates. It requires careful planning to meet the different needs of each type of coral and inhabitant.


Soft Coral Dominant: This type focuses on soft corals, which are generally easier to care for than stony corals. The aquascape is designed to accommodate the flowing, often colorful, soft corals.
Biotope: A biotope aquascape aims to replicate a specific natural marine environment, such as a particular reef section or a marine habitat. This includes using species and aquascaping materials that are found in the chosen biotope.


Minimalist: Characterized by a “less is more” approach, minimalist reef aquascapes use fewer rocks and corals, focusing on open space and simplicity. This style emphasizes negative space and the natural beauty of a few well-chosen elements.
Island or Peninsula: This aquascape creates the illusion of an isolated reef or a peninsula. Rocks and corals are arranged in a way that there are distinct “islands” or a central structure surrounded by open sand areas.


Predator Tank: This setup is designed for larger, carnivorous marine species like lionfish, eels, and certain sharks or rays. The aquascape often includes fewer corals and is structured to provide hiding places and open swimming areas for these larger fish.
Nano Reef: A smaller version of a reef tank, usually under 30 gallons. Despite their size, nano reefs can be stunning, housing a variety of corals, small fish, and invertebrates.


A macro algae aquascape is a marine aquarium setup primarily focused on cultivating macro algae, such as sea lettuce or kelp, creating a unique underwater garden. This type of aquascape often serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, aiding in nutrient control and providing habitat for small marine creatures.
