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.

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.

Beautiful tanks, can anyone tell me what that light green plant is in back left corner on the tank above. I'm pretty sure it's Hygo but would like to know what kind of Hygro?

That is Saururus cernuus. The father of Willem van Wezel was famous for being the first one to have this plant in his aquarium in The Netherlands.
