Welcome to Ukaps, dutch scapes can be beautiful.

Any chance of a pic and plant list?

I think it makes the rock look naturally aged.

Or both

Organic red pottery clay, It's high in iron content.

Hi This could help: http://www.barrreport.com/forum/barr-report/estimative-index/117-the-estimative-index-of-dosing-or-no-need-for-test-kits and this: http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/low-maintainence-long-term-sustrate.14400/

I think it looks great like that, being able to see beyond the "trees" creates depth.

I would suggest topsoil, compost is fine as long as it's 100% organic, no added stuff, you would want to get rid of all the wood chips etc and consider mineralising it, a cheap cap is pool filter sand (silica sand) 3mm grain size.

4 OR 5 50W LED FLOODLIGHTS

Does your unit have reflectors? what is the Kelvin rating of the T5's?

Did you use coconut peat at the base to build up the height?

Please read Steve's post just before you sent yours.

Please update

I wonder if a weak to mild dose of H2O2 would help....Tank is looking fantastic.

I'm not convinced the wooden stand you have those containers on is sturdy enough to support all that weight.

Wow, amazing!

Lets vote! who wants to see updated pictures of " Going Dutch by the book - tank sponsored by Tropica" :rolleyes::lol: me!

Update please Pedro:)

Possibly Echinodorus Ozelot

I do almost the same as you, except I use the same hose for draining and filling, Iv'e attached a gravel vac/syphon to the end.

I can't see a pic or link.

Awesome:)

Good to hear, he will certainly enjoy the company of his/her own kind if you can get your hands on more.

Looks a touch thin, also I can't help but notice what looks to be BBA on your substrate

Fantastic start:clap:

It will work for the protein scum provided there are no dead or "whirlpool" surface areas or corners, try to position it such that it compliments your new water flow, place your drop checker near to where the BBA has reared it's ugly head, if only for awhile to see how the changes affect that area.

I see, how about moving the spray bar to the back left, pointing towards the front of the tank and the lily pipe to the back right facing the spray bar? flow would be anti clock wise, You may need to add a small powerhead near the front left pointing right (not sure)

Can't you place the spray bar on the same side of the tank as the lily pipe?

Attach the whole lot to an arched piece of wood for a cool archway:lol:

Have you considered a different colour background? maybe black or white?

Can't help seeing the tree as a freaky hand:cyclops:

Any chance of a picture?

Bravo!:clap:
