300L Dutch tank
8
I would like to introduce my Dutch tank. It's planted in Feb. 2008 and there have been a lot of changes since my first set up.
The tank dimensions are 120x50x50cm.
Lightning: 6 18 watt T8 840 TL's and 1 30 watt 840 TL. together good for 138 watt.
I used simple sand on the bottom of the tank.
co2 30 bubbles per minute and some fertilizers (Profito, easycarbo, No3 and Po4)
Here is my first set up.
A month later
And now

Yes, thats the auberti.
The Bacopa is the caroliniana.
The little red foreground plant is a new species and has already found his way in Europe.
It's a Alternanthera species and it's grows very very very slow!! About 2 inches in 3-4 months

After the summer I will do a rescape and go nature-style. Here in Holland that kinda style is very rare.
Thats why the hygro difformis and the small alternanthera's are out and a piece of driftwood with narrow split fern is in that corner, I'm already collecting some ferns and other plants and will be adding more and more driftwood cause of the rescape. Almost all the plants in this scape wil move out.
This are the last pics I will show for know. new pics will be placed after the rescape in a new topic

i have to say im not a fan of where the bacopa is kinda takes away from the dramatic look of the pink plant behind it other then it looks good just my opinion though

Miklo, I'm pulling my hat off.. Beautiful!
Where did you find inspiration for dutch style aquascaping?
How long have been keeping this tank, and modulating it?
Could you please elaborate on dosing regimen and water parameters? I'm assuming CO2 is injected right?
P.S. Are you as decadent in life as you are with the plant arrangement?
