#246: 660L Dutch Aquascape Living room tank

Jan-Willem Hietbrink Wierden, Netherlands

Comments

The plants all individualy look nice. But as a whole they really not yet seem to make a composition. Both barclaya's look amazing but the left one is really drawing all of teh attention away from the rest of the scape.

This is a pretty tank but it's got too many species and is dominated by the long-leaved plants. Cut the number of species down to 1 per 4 inches and vary the leaf color and texture more.
— Phil Edwards
This is a lovely tank with healthy plants but it does not have the cohesion that I would really like to see in a top Dutch tank.
