Petrichor

“Petrichor” stands for that distinctive scent just after the first raindrops touched the surface of the earth. A fresh earth note that most individuals perceive relaxing with the combination of the sound of rain. We wanted to recreate and translate that feeling to an aquascape! The aquarium hosts tropical Boraras naevus fish and shrimp. Designed with drift wood, rocks, gravel, tropical moss and aquatic plants. We used time automated LED lighting synchronised with carbon dioxide diffusion system for optimal plant growth. Our main challenge was to hide all the equipment in the 50 litre tank, in order to maximize the naturalistic aspect of it.
