Wow amazing looking tank.

OOOOw! Those are nice Riba! Where are those photos from?

I like this one a lot:

Riba · 01-30-2007, 12:22 AM

those are from an online album. I once bought some plants from the guy (not all his aquaria, by the way), and got into plant growing

Should say in real life his tank was stunning!

Robert Hudson · 01-31-2007, 10:06 AM

This guy? He seems to be quite the star! Is he an NBAT winner?

Riba · 02-01-2007, 12:27 AM

Yep, that guy (it is his photo-album). he was runner-up in 2005. Dunno about other competitions. He is currently studying to be a NBAT judge, according their site ( cbkm )

I agree about that tall grass like plant looking out of place

Well, that is Glyceria maxima. It was a trend for a while to use this plant to make a tall rise on a strong point in an anquarium. However, I must agree in these examples it is not used correctly.

About Willem van Wezel: He is a 2 times (2006 & 2005) runner-up in the DUtch-Style category of the NBAT Championship. In Holland that means you first have to beat all your fellow local club members. Than a few months later you will to compete with all the other winners in your district. Only the district winners can compete in the national competition.

I will come up with more pictures of Willem's tank, since I am meeting him tomorrow. I will than show you that it runs in the family.

Ah, thanks Marco

Do you have more examples from dutch tanks (in sufficient resolution) available?

Marco AUkes · 02-01-2007, 02:24 AM

Yes, I do. But I will have to make a good selection first.

I will do so this week.

Heey Marco,

Leuk om hier ook weer wat meer nederlanders te zien

Ook leuk om te lezen dat ze hier zo gek zijn op die stratenplannen :P Ben benieuwd naar de foto's, Willem heeft altijd wel een mooie bak

Groet, Icet (ook lid van vvv

)

For the not Dutch people on this forum:

It's nice to see more dutch people on this forum. It's also nice to read that they like the dutch way of aquascaping. Can't wait to see the pictures, Willem has always a very nice tank. Greetings, Icet

Great pictures. I'm not Dutch but I like the dutch way of aquascaping. I am eagerly awaiting more pictures. I think Willem van Wezel is my new hero.
