You dream in Dutch?...lol...Great tank, nice healthy looking plants
Its my first attempt of a planted tank.
When i start planting didnt even know about dutch style aquariums but yes, now i realize that this is the kind of layout that i like

Thanks Martin

Trying to figure out how to do something like this, I love your tank! Amazing job! And even more impressive as its your first scape ! Maybe in 6 months or so I will have something resembling it. Great job

Was expecting something else..:eek:.. But indeed sexy tank, love the way the carpet curves. Nice idea, looks great. :)
 
Luis your Red Plants look brilliant as does the whole tank,the 10 hr photoperiod and 4 T5 was that a gradual increase to accomodate the reds,?

I start a few months back with just 2 T5, about 0.78w/L
All grow well, the monte Carlo carpet good but i didnt have the reds that i want...
So, i put 2 more T5.
The change from 2 to 4 lamps was on the same day.
No Algae booms, no this or that like i used to read about.

My photoperiod starts with 2 lamps than half a hour it turns the other 2 on.
By the end of the day, it shuts down first 2 and half a hour later the other 2...

Keep it simple. Its just plants

Just need light and nutrients, co2 included on them...
lovely tank well done
Thanks!
Beautiful tank.
Thank you!
Haha. Just kidding.. With a title like Wet Dream maybe some like this, but than she wouldn't look so good with her wearing scuba gear..

Será? Se assim for vai ter uma bela surpresa, mas acho que sabe. Eheh

Fish must be so happy in there
 
you have a large list of live stock but hardly seen any in the picture.... nice tank though
In a heavily planted tank like this one you don't usually see all the fish, all the time...
