#500: 660L Dutch Aquascape Mijn privé bakkie

Jan-Willem Hietbrink Wierden, Netherlands

Comments

A tank from The Netherlands which is not fully typical Dutch Style. The Otellia really splits the scape in two and is supported in that by the green Nymphea in the front. With the same plant in green (left) and brown) right on both sides that gets even more emphasis. You see however the classical street with Lobelia and well defined groups of plants that Dutch Style is known for. And I am always a sucker for boesemani's!

There is a lot of old school Dutch styling cues and charm here. With the Potamogeton and Glyceria used as curtain plants this aquarist is clearly familiar with traditional Dutch style tanks. The use of large-leaved plants mosses and grasses are so welcome and a relief from a sea of short red stem plants that seem to fill so-called Dutch tanks these days. However trimming needs work - the flat-top Myriophyllum is very distracting right in the center. The Ottelia in the center forces symmetry. While the size of Barclaya is impressive it is overused especally on the left.
