#775: 240L Dutch Aquascape Baby green

Pierre stabile sistiana, Italy

Comments

Really nice looking plants in big groups!

It appears however that the composition is limited by lack of light in the corners which causes the corners of the tank to remain empty.

I would also prefer some bigger leaves to give more contrast in leaf shapes and a street of plants to push the sense of depth to the next level and bring more variation in height.

Variation in color is a key part of a successful Dutch style aquarium - this entry has that requirement covered.

However many of the other elements of Dutch style aquasaping are missing.

You need a balance of stems grasses mosses and one or two large-leaf plants. A sense of depth is lacking due to the absence of a fully developed foreground and mid ground. The top left corner is undeveloped and/or completely dark. Stay with one species per 10 cm of tank length.

Here are some tips and guidelines for Dutch style aquascapers:
