got plants?

Artificial, re-imagined from ron beck designs.

I’m Ron, of Ron Beck Designs, and I hand design-hand craft artificial aquarium decor plants, reptile plants and terrarium plants and succulents. The plant designs are well crafted, life like and made of either plastic or silk. I use non toxic products and re-purpose plastic elements within the design structure.

Real plants are always best for you and your pets. Artificial plants are always best when you don’t have all the time necessary to care for real plants.

They have to look good too.  the shop | ronbeckdesigns.com  my designs are also available on ebay | etsy | custom order information

One of the biggest challenges we all face, while maintaining a freshwater aquarium, is the risk of disease. Sometimes, it can be so overwhelming and other times, a real heart breaker.

Fortunately for us, many of them can be seen on the fish in their beginning stages of development. Sometimes, they are hidden from site. The better your relationship with them, the greater chance you will see the changes in your fish.

This chart provides a basic over view. Further details are readily available on-line and or at your local fish retailer. Always try to stay away from too many chemical additives in your tank.
