The guy is proffesional designer and these are the samples of his work, which have been already sold to clients. For some of them he has lighting schema (for the first time I saw that the reflectors were used only for separate locations) and ground plans with plants he used. But the main idea are plants - fish only secondary.
BTW, he does not use CO2...
Title: wow.

My fault, I checked only on description, but in all ohers I found hat CO2 IS USED :oops:

One example:
Tank: JUWEL Rio-200, 100x40x50 (cm), 200L (~60G), tank filter removed

Lighting: In addtion to the lamps coming with the tank 2 other lamps of 30W each are added. In total: 2 SunGlo 30W lamps + 2  Gro-Lux 30W lamps. 10H per day.

Lamps and reflectors positioninf (see below. reflectors  shown with blue lines):


Equipment: substrate cord heater 25W, filter EHEIM 2224, EHEIM CO2 system, EHEIM microelement dossage unit.

Substrate: black granite 2-4mm, 3-4cm deep. Fertilizer in substrate - Tetra Crypto Dunger. Liquid ferts - Tetra Planta Min 2ml per day.

Fish:
Hyphessobrycon callistus, 16.
Gyrinocheilus aymonieri, 5

Snails:
Apple snails
MTS

Ground plan (pic included)
1 - Mangrove
2 - Riccia fluitans
3 - Mayaca fluviatilis
4 - Eusteralis sp. (Limnophila sp.?)
5 - Blyxa alternifolia
6 - Hygrophila lacustris
7 - Hemiantus micranthemoides
8 - Glossostigma elatinoides
9 - Cryptocoryne wendtii var. rubella
10 - Hygrophila difformis
11 - Crynum calamistratum
12 - Anubias barteri var. nana
13 - Hydrocotyle verticillata
14 - Lilaeopsis spec.
15 - Sagittaria subulata f. pusilla
16 - Blyxa aubertii
17 - Fontinalis sp.?

Water change - 30% per week.
Prunning and lamp changing as needed. Regular check of water parameters.

Sorry it could be not a good tranlation. Actually the equipment mentioned above was used for all the tanks except 2 of them. Lamp placement is verydifferent, sometimes, just a 1/3 of lamp has a reflector - for selective illumination as I understand. CO2 dosage is not mentioned as other water parameters.

Regards

And once again sorry for mentioning that CO2 was not used  :oops:
