#665: 74L Dutch Aquascape The Hope

Dewa Gede Upadana Gianyar, Indonesia

Comments

Not very Dutch Style but at the same time still appealing to the eye. Nice looking plants ans pretty nice organized plant groups. However as a composition the Vallisneria is way to domminant. This pushes the rest of the scape more into a v-shape which is not intended with a Dutch Style.

This is an attractive tank full of healthy plants. I'd be proud to have it in my house; however it's not Dutch. The Vallisneria is very overpowering and the sloped stem species and large number of species for the size of the tank doesn't create enough contrast between heights. A 24 inch tank should have at most 6 species not counting what is used for the walls.
