One thing I allways wanted to know about dutch style aquariums - how much time you spent maintaning your tank?
I think a day work in a week mostley i spend halve of the sunday to clean and cut most of the plants so i can enjoy the movie the hole week Ruud.
Awesome looking aqua garden quqidrol. Its gorgeous! Would it be too much if I asked you to point out all the different plants you have in your tank (mentioning from left to right). Its a lovely merging of colour and contrasts. Would like to know which species you have used. Also if you can specify your tank filtration, lighting and dosings it would be very informative! Keep up the great artistic work and good luck! ^^
I always like the colour and textures in dutch scapes. I think they are one of the hardest to do because the plants are the whole focus with no hardscape to distract the eye. Therefore the growing and maintaining is key and obviously omething you do well. Congrats and hope to see some more from you AC
:113:This is an awesome tank!!!:=D> Can you give use some specifics about the set-up. What lights do you use, fert, maintance schedule, and how long did it take you to get here. This has to be one of my favorites!! I love it. I am about to redo my tank and am thinking of goin "Dutch" so would like as much information as I can get because your's looks soooooo great!
Hello, I use a lot of light 8xtld 54 watt and the exposure is 16 hours a dag with full exposure on the middle of the day for 4 ore 5 hours. The collors i used are 2x 840, 2x 830, 2x 940 and 2x 930. filter capacitie is cokes and i use a pomp for central heating with 3 steps. Step one is 1500 liter/hour and step two is for when a am cleaning the tank and the flow is about 2500 liter/hour. Step three i dont use becauce its to much. Setup pictures i have to compimise at home before i can post them. I hope it will be understandable. Ruud.
