As my first idea is not gonna work, I have decided this morning to go for the 95 % old fashioned, why not 100% because I haven't got a back ground which is needed in a Dutch scape.
To go for the real Dutch scaping you have to follow quit a few rules.
- 1 variety of plants per 10 cm tank.
- all same variety of plants are in groups together on one place
- neighbor plants are always different size, leave shape and colour
- each plant must have the space to grow
- you must create eye cathers and depth
- limited use of stones of wood.
- no visible technics like filters, hose pipes etc n( hide them with plants )
- and there some more rules which I forgot, marco will add them later as he is the expert.
On the livestock part their are also rules, but that's for later.
This is the new left side of the tank, not finished, but the first step.
My Tonia needs to grow so it will cover my Co2 hose and heather, in front of the Tonia I will create a so could plant street with the Ludwigia palustris by changing the height van low to middle. The Aponogeton henkelianus is the eye cather in this part and the Glossostigma will cover the fore ground.
right part something simular, Ambulia, Heternanthera Zostrefolia needs to grow, so they will cover back ground and filter, Ammania is ment to be the depth part by starting from low to high, the vallisneria is the eye cather and the moss needs to cover the fore ground.
This is an overview, absolutely not ready yet, that's the Down side if you go for the Dutch style, it will take weeks before you are getting there . But as i have already set up a nano scape as well it doesn't matter
