Additional Information This is my very first attempt at Dutch type aquarium and i think i like it!
Currently there is a lack of real foreground plants. They are there but they all stop more or less in a straight line a few centimeters away from the front glass. In s Dutch tank the forground shows more variations in height and leaves just a few open spaces.
Putting a red plant in the forward left corner pulls all attention and focus to that point. In a Dutch tank such a plant is placed on one of the strong points according to the rule of thirds.
Last but not least; the total compostion would benefit form more variations in height as well.
