Very nice scape... lots of color contrast in the various plants used.
Hello, I'm new to the forum, though I've kept planted tanks for a few years now. Using this post to test out posting. Currently running this 3 feet tank (actually 35 inches, odd dimension due to old custom build). Still reading forum posts on how to attach pics/ or link to other sites.

I love the way your tank looks, plants look lush & healthy. Any close-up shots? Well done!
Thanks for the kind comments. I'm still reading up on how to post pics, I do have some closeups but need a hosting site, I have some pics at plantedtank.net but not sure if can link to there from here. The right side of the tank is still half-baked though, think the flow doesn't favour the plants at the back so I'm still changing things up there.
Nice dutch style tank. Vivid and bright colours. Love the look of L.Arcuatas

90 x 50 x 50 cm tank: Eheim 2217; ANS CO2 Solenoid with 60mm intense bazooka; Zetlight 6400; Teco 500 Chiller; Borneo Wild Steel inlet/outlet
Ferts: Dry Mixture/Dr Mallicks. Temp: 26 degrees Substrate: ADA Amazonia
the contrast makes the red look really awesome! great dutch piece!
must be challenging working with so many types of plants. love the height build up from front to back.
any fauna living in this beautiful tank?
Some more pics:
I have 15 CPDs inside, and a couple of Otos; I see some spawning behavior in the CPDs, but afraid the females may be overly stressed by the male chasing them around. They seem to be still feeding normally etc though.
What lights at you using. I am sure it's LED

How old is the scape?
nice contrast! what's the name of the red plant with the smaller leaves?
It is Ludwigia sp. red, though I'm told its likely to be a variant of Ludwigia palustris, but I'm not sure if this has been confirmed or not. Yeah, there are RGB leds; there are 2 types of green if I'm not wrong, one green and the other is more cyan ? However, for this fixture I cannot dim the individual colors. It does produce pretty good Par values though.
What a great dutch scape! Great color organized and contrast..
Nice scape but you need to tune down and focus the red plant, currently it is all over place and become distraction. Red plant can be a friend but can also an enemy depending where you put it.
I love the AR sp Mini. They are my favourite plant. I thought the colour contrast was pretty good in terms of the graduating colours. Red and slight red. Maybe you can remove the plant at the top right hand column. Best to be a greener plant. That keeps the red focus in the centre. Just a thought. I like how you managed to bring out the reds. Not an easy task. I presume you brought down nitrates and then increase iron and of course your lights are pretty strong already in the first place.
