Being a redhead myself it kills me to say: but this is a red overkill.

It looks stunning and impressive but for a Dutch Style a lot more restraint on using red plants is required.

I'm in love with the colors and health of this tank. I could spend hours sitting in front of it.

It's a gorgeous tank.

However this is not a true Dutch style tank. The structural requirements of a Dutch tank are almost entirely missing - limit species count to 1 species per 10 cm of tank length apply principles of contrast and focal points use mostly green plants with a few focal point red species use a blend of stems grasses mosses and rosettes.

Be sure to remove all equipment before photography and crop images to eliminate distractions outside the tank.

Here are some tips and guidelines for Dutch style aquascapers:
