Welcome to Aquascape TV. This time we will share to you, our Classic Dutch Style Aquarium 20 Gallon. In this video, we will guide you about step by step to make this beautiful planted tank layout. First add about 1 centimeter of substrate below the gravel to give long term nutrient storage for the growth of plants. The gravel is distributed with the slope upwards towards the rear wall of the aquarium. This way, you can achieve depth and perspective. The easiest way to plant in the aquarium is at a water level just a few centimeters from the bottom. This aquascape/aquarium was inspired by the classic Dutch themed aquariums. Although it doesn't conform too many of the rules of the Dutch method of aquascaping, it shows how some plants can be used to good effect without using any hardscape. It was interesting to see how the plants performed in an aquarium without any classic potted species of plants. The different textures and colours of the plants were very striking as you walked into the room. The fish health and water quality was tremendous due to the high plant mass. The Aquarium was trimmed about 5-6 times in total, and was very easy to look after. It looked after itself after the initial set up. In the first 2 weeks the water was changed at 40% everyday with pure reverse osmosis water. I used Tropica Specialised and Tropica Premium fertiliser on alternate days. Five pumps of each. It was used in conjunction with aquasoil. After 2 weeks the water change was 20% every 3 days. After 45 days this was dropped to one water change a week. CO2 was used at 1 to 2 bubbles per second. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy the video.
