New Dutch Scape

[aquascapist]

Hi Folks!! Rescaped my 4 footer tank, first attempt at dutch.
Most of the plants are still settling down from emmersed growth, so planning to farm more stems before building on the final scape. My idea is to probably go for streets of different stems with gradual depth.

substrate: ADA amazonia + controsoil
Filtration: Eheim 2217, sunsun 304 canister and an internal filter for increasing circulation.
Co2: pressurised with timer.
Lights: T5HO 4x54 watts

Flora:
Alternanthera reineckii sp. mini
Alternanthera reineckii Rosaefolia
Blyxa Japonica(removing eventually)
Cryptocorne Balansae
Hygrophila Polysperma
Hygrophila Pinnatifida
Java Fern Windelov + narrow (planning to remove)
Limnophila aquatica
Limnophila Aromatica
Ludwigia sp. cosmopolitan

Let the plants fill the empty space....it will b a stunner in no time....... i personally feel ur tank will look better without the drift at right hand side...let it be a plants only tank

Looking nice. After several trims and mature, it will be stunner. Fill the gaps.

yea waiting excitedly for the plants to settle down.. Also i realized i have the mic. umbrosum 'monte carlo', will send you some after trimming. If you happen to have starogyne repens I'll appreciate some trimmings. Thanks!

Is the height 24 inches? Light seems to be on the lower side. To get depth, increase the surface area of carpet plants
