Wow, so here's goes another thread.
For the last 9 months I've been attempting to complete a Dutch scape, but I'm getting tired of trimming a ton of stems all the time, so I'm switching to something less maintenance so I can focus on my reef. I don't have enough Aquasoil for the layout I want, so I'm going to save some money and get two bags of Fluval Shrimp Stratum to keep the AS look and add the needed height and sloping. I'm planning on keeping this very easy to maintain. I've selected only three species of plants that i think will lend themselves very well to the rock scape, and to keep the simplicity.
Specs-
Tank- Mr. Aqua 60P
Filter- Eheim 2215 w/ glass Lily Pipes
Heater- 150w
Light- AquaticLife Dual T5HO w/ two Giesemann Midday Bulbs.
Co2- UP Aqua Dual Gage Reg though PB tank, uncountable bubble count.
Substrate- ADA Aquasoil Amazonia + Fluval Shrimp Stratum
Ferts- EI
Hard scape- Petrified Wood
Plants:
Eleocharis sp. parvula
Hydrocotyle sp. japan
Utricularia Graminofolia
Elatine sp. Triandra
I'll be taking a trip to the LFS this weekend to get the stratum and the rocks. The plants are already in possession.
