60 cm - Old fashioned Dutch style scape

Hmm... Mr. Amano inspired me to get into the whole planted tank business, but seing stuff like this is really starting to grip me. This tank looks absolutely fab-tastic and certainly something to think about for future projects. And also I think the Chief would appreciate a more varied and colourful setup than what I'm doing atm.
Keep it up, M!

:D which chief
 
Thanks,

will cut back the Marsilea this weekend.

Filtration , I started with a normal Aqua flow 200 internal, but Marc advised be during his visit to go for a much higher flow, something I am not used to in a planted tank. But I thought give it a try so I am using an aqua-Pro sp2 now ( 950 L/h ) a little bit an overkill but that;s the light unit as well.

Interesting to see how this will develop after a few months as I am still expecting a big Algae grow
 
Thats looking lovely Maurits, great work!
 
What type of light unti are you using?

The colour of the plants look stunning

Thanks, Steph
 
6 weeks old now and time for a real proper trim, I am trying to work now to the final scape.

My Galaxies are doing very well with as a result some small babies :D
 
Congratulations on the baby galaxies, do you think they will survive in the main tank, there's plenty of places for them to hide at least - Tom

I was able to catch 2 which are swimming in one of the other tanks :D
 
Thanks James.

I know the cause and also the solution. Starting with an Aqua-pro 4sp is the first part :D
 
Those colours are amazing! How are you getting such good colours? I was always under the influence it's a difficult one to get like those.
I've never really used red plants so any input is good input.
