Anyone want to post some pictures of non-CO2 tanks? I always see the beautiful lush Dutch and Amano style tanks that are always gassed but what about the rest of us that don't want to use CO2 (well, I have both types)? I'm wondering if there are any big planted tanks like 55G and up? Would be interesting! TIA...

GDominy... Nice tank! What kind and how much lights do you have? Looks pretty bright there. Any trouble with algae?

That tank is lit using a pair of 40 watt Hagen Powerglow Bulbs. So 80 watts over a 45 gallon.
I get some algae, but realistically speaking its no more then expected. I clean my glass every 4-6 weeks, and the pleco takes care of the rest!

I'll post some pics of my 72 gallon - non CO2 (although I do use Flourish Excel) once I have a chance to take them
