Just a question from a newbie here: what is the essential difference between an aquascaped tank with some small fish and a planted tank with small fish? Is it just that the first one is just that – more deliberately/carefully set up? What I mean is, can you call a simple relatively heavily planted tank with rock and wood aquascaped, or is there a line to be crossed before you actually have a proper aquascaped tank? CO2 doesn't really come into this doubt as you can have fairly beautiful aquascaped low-tech tanks. I leave Iwagumi style tanks out of this context as they are works of art!
