In any case, the Dutch style was the birth of modern aquascaping. Many people today favor the apporach of Mr. Amano. Personally, I really appreciate a beautiful Dutch layout like this one!

Nice job Mike!
I love the plant selection and layout.
Marvelous job for someone who just started in this hobby a year ago.

I want the USA members to notice what he is using for lighting: Mostly 4000K and some 6500K lamps.
Most of the europeans go with this lighting. I believe they are Philips CFs;as it has a factory in Holland.
Americans tend to choose what I deem 'Saltwater' bulbs - a high kelvin rated bulb. GO figure.

Like your kitty.

What is your GH?

I noticed the difference in the bulb color myself Newt. You can see the 'yellowish' tinge in the scape. Most US hobbyists seem to not prefer the lower spectrum bulbs for that reason, although it seems to give the tank a 'warmer' feel.

I wasnt pointing out the differences in the kelvin temp the europeans choose because of the look it gives the tank but more because of plant growth utilizing light more towards the red end of the spectrum versus the blue.
