MIND-BLOWING DUTCH AQUASCAPES!!

[@GreatAscape]

Such an inspiring level of husbandry behind these layouts. I'm starting to understand that you can't hide husbandry inadequacies by over compensating with hardscape. valuable lesson to be learned.

[@milanioom]

Imagine the feeling you have when you're actually there in front of those marvels. Amazing!

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

who needs tv when you can have this beautiful tank :)

[@ADUAquascaping]

Awesome! I like the last one the most. Classic

[@azhairving]

Beautiful video. I loved seeing Fred's own style sensibilities at work in the last scape. I'm very very new but Dutch style has quickly become my favorite.

[@hugoagogo4324]

Mine also

[@nateblumenthal4617]

This is most likely the best video you have ever made by far. Fantastic job George words cannot explain it.

[@fload46d]

Very nice. I like the tetras and the plants and the setup.

[@michaelschmitz500]

Thank you George for this great video. It was in 1982 when I bought "Das Wunder im Wohnzimmer" (The wonder in the living room) by Arendt van den Nieuwenhuizen, a well known dutch fish keeper and Photograph. So this style is more than 30 years old. The dutch aquarists put also a high number of light tubes (T8) above their tanks and gave a lot of light to the plants, similiar like today in the scapers world. Instead of soil they used pot plant ground (some US guys call it dirt) and sand. I never reached this look in my tanks. It was also a human designed layout than todays Aqua scapes founded by Mr.Takashi Amano who walked in Japanese forests and took photographs of Stones and Moss and Wood. Thank you for this time journey.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

+Michael Schmitz Thank you!

[@christophefan2010]

That is the reason why I changed my Juwel 240 Led lamps to T5 light now :) I can spot the difference in 3 weeks already!

+Mr D Thank you !!

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

All look tremendous..the biggest surprise is two of the three featured water wisteria. THAT is such a fast grower in any aquarium Co2 or no, you don't see it in any Amano natural aquariums. Hence I guess,the Dutch! In that first aquarium,the big bold center plant is Ammania gracilis?

[@christophefan2010]

All 3 great aquariums here! I know Bart personal now and hopefully later I will own such a large and awesome Tank as well:)

[@srijithps]

Absolutely stunning Dutchhhh 🙂 Its hard work and pure dedication to their hobby. George, could you please name the plant (time stamp 1:53) placed in between Tiger lotus and Tripartita. I thought it was Dwarf Baby tears but I may be wrong..

Hi could George.... Could you identify the orange plant of on the right at the time stamp 0.22

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

Dutch aquascapes are actually the easiest to create in my opinion (but also the most expensive), but require A LOT of maintenance and dedication and do take a bit of time to take off. Once it takes off, oh man, they are the most beautiful among all aquascaping. Beautiful tanks!

[@antonius3745]

I don't agree in the expenses. The Japanese style does take more technique and is harder to maintain. The Dutch style is reproducing itself.

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

@@antonius3745 Meh, let's agree to disagree on that one. If you want a beautiful Dutch tank that looks natural and that stays natural, then you need to invest not only a lot of time in it but also a lot of money. Dutch style has way more plants, or rather a bigger diversity on plants, and plants don't come free, as you know. Also, the lights are more expensive since with that diversity on plants you need adequate and all sorts of different lights for all those different plants to be able to grow healthy (top, middle and bottom). Not even talking about the amounts of CO2 that needs to be added, which is from my own experience higher than with Japanese style. Not saying the Japanese style isn't expensive, or doesn't need a lot of attention, but in my opinion it's less expensive to start with.

[@andriwira704]

Amazing,how to make it?

[@antonius3745]

Yes i like the dutch aquascaping more than the Japanese one. The Japenese is nice but also harder to keep in balance. And i think it is in the long run boring. The Dutch style is like a living painting.

[@a-kanaal5865]

japanese aquascaping is to much of the same imho, while it is very peaceful and harmonic its get boring after a while, 8 out 10 times its always the same "the lonly rock" ....

[@antonius3745]

In Dutch tanks they always use the effect of the so-called 'warm-feet' by using a heating cable under the soil. Do the aqua soils have the same effect?

[@mauricematla1215]

Not alway's.

[@z-collector7518]

Sorry to say I don't like it. The plants are healthy and the water is clear but the aquascape looks like the tank in the store from which people buy the plants. Also there is no selection of plants and fish. Everything from around the world was thrown together in this tank. Too crowded with no empty areas, no proportions and no hardscape at all. You can do so much better in this huge tank.

[@mauricematla1215]

That precisely is wat "Dutch" style means. Now nobody has too like it bit there are fine example's of it.
