Thanks i'm Luciën from the Netherlands, I was reintroduced in to fish keeping around 10 years ago. Because my wife her goldfish died and we wanted to keep tropical fish. I have an 80cm long blackwater with fish from Sumatra and a 130cm long clearwater scaped tank with mostly fish from Surinam. And i'm currently planning for a larger probably 240cm long tank. Here are some old pic's of someof my tanks, I don't have any recent ones by hand.
Just gorgeous 
really love the way you vertically increase the broadleaf foliage at the focal point of 30-09, up from narrow Leaf Java and what looks like Crypt undulatus and buce, up through wendtii, coffeefolia, to the full sized central nymphaea.
So cool!

Welcome again @Luciën glad to have you here!
It's been a while since I've seen a blackwater tank. I had one many, many years ago. What leaf litter do you have down there?

Ooh the leaves are just locally collected Beech, sweet chastnut and oak and fern. This was when it was still a SA tank.. I now changed it to Sumatra I also ad some cool looking leaves from the LFS now but what tree I don't know.
