We’ve added Lava Rock to the stones in AquaDraft. It comes in two types with different looks: Type I and Type II. What is lava rock? Lava rock is volcanic lava that has cooled and hardened. Gas escaping as it set leaves holes behind, so the surface is rough and full of pores. It is […]
We’ve added Anacharis and Anacharis II to the plants in AquaDraft. A Classic, Easy-Going Plant Anacharis is a stem plant with small leaves arranged in whorls along a long, slender stem. It’s hardy, easy to grow, and often the first plant people put in a new tank. It grows well without CO2 injection, and it […]
We’ve added new placement tools, creatures, and assets to AquaDraft. Here’s a summary of this update. Brush Placement: Moss & Carpet Plants You can now grow moss and carpet-type plants by dragging across rocks, driftwood, or the substrate, instead of placing them one click at a time. Moss brush — Drag across the surface of […]
We’ve added new livestock, plants, rocks, and driftwood to AquaDraft. Here’s a summary of what’s new. Livestock Cardinal Tetra is now available — AquaDraft’s first livestock addition. They swim in schools and naturally alternate between active swimming and hovering. Plants Cryptocoryne Lucens — A compact rosette-type plant. The reddish petioles are also modeled. Long Hairgrass […]
The aquascape layout simulator AquaDraft has been updated with a completely redesigned substrate display. Previously, AquaDraft’s substrate was simply color-coded — black soil, brown soil, river gravel, white sand — with no texture detail. That was a deliberate trade-off to get the initial release out, but it couldn’t convey the tactile sense of what the substrate actually […]

Now Live. AquaDraft — a tool for simulating your tank layout before you buy — has officially launched today. “What driftwood would look great here?” “Where should the filter go to keep things tidy?” — these are questions every aquarist wrestles with before setting up a tank. Until now, your only options were to picture […]
Today we fixed several bugs in AquaDraft. We apologize for any inconvenience these may have caused. What Was Fixed ① Light Stand Width Now Follows the Cabinet Size Previously, the arch-style light stand was always sized for a 120 cm tank, even when you selected a 60 cm or 90 cm cabinet — making the […]
AquaDraft just got a new feature: “Custom Asset Import” — load a GLB-format 3D model file and place it freely anywhere in your tank layout. Simulate how a Gunpla figure, a hand-built model, or any 3D object you like would look submerged in a tank. Great for planning underwater display setups too. How to Use […]
Thank you for using AquaDraft. This update is a major overhaul of the cabinet, replacing the previous simple box with a far more realistic representation. You can now visualize how your finished layout will actually look with a real cabinet underneath. The Cabinet Is Now an Independent Piece of Furniture Previously the cabinet shape was […]
