I have the digital camera for the day so I figured I would take some updated pictures.

The pictures are kinda hazy because of the sun. I will take more pictures at night when it is dark.

That's a nice set-up, NJDF. I've been looking to get a large Amazon swordplant centerpiece too for a long time.

What is your filtration system? I noticed you also have a CO2 reactor...how is that working? I was thinking about making the same one pretty soon.
 
Thanks. Yea, I love that amazon sword. It was not even 1/10 that size when I bought it a few months ago. I put a root tab under it every other week.

I just made that CO2 reactor 2 days ago. What happened was that I used to have a knock off python and I got the real python. So, I took the gravel tube from the knock off and drilled a hole in the top of it. Then, I attached it to the u.v sterializer(the powerhead is pushing the water through the u.v.) I put my CO2 line and air stone in the tube and stuffed some filter floss I had lying around in the bottom. It was very simple.

For filtration, I have two Emperor 400s. I know about the surface agitation making the CO2 gass off, but everything is fine. I keep the water level high.
 
Here Rometiklan, I got a close up of the diffuser for you. I don't know why the glass looks dirty though, I just cleaned it with a magnet cleaner not 2 minutes before the picture was taken.

Here is ground level with the fish. It's cool how when I put my hand to the tank, they all come over to me.

Nice tank! I kinda like that gray substrate you heave there..!
You must get about 100% diffusion on your CO2.. Right?
:)
 
Hey thanks a lot for the pics of your CO2 diffuser, NJDF...it's much appreciated. That diffuser's definitely going to be a weekend project for me sometime soon. I've got most of the parts just sitting around the house. For now, I'm using a bell diffuser. It's not bad, but it's not as effective as the one you have.

Do you find the diffuser distracting in your tank? I was thinking about using a sump with an overflow box, so I can hide the heater, and the CO2 diffuser in there...another weekend project.

Looks like you have some really nice Serpaes in there. I love those tetras. I have been looking for some nice specimens for a while now. My tank is always a work in progress. There's always some new fish to get, or some gadget to try out. :)
 
Thanks a lot everyone.

I hope so Joe, not really sure though, but I would imagine close to. Have you ever seen any substrate like that before? I saw it in some dude's tank and it was the nicest I've seen. He also had this big round things in there too, they were like CDs. ;) ;) :)

Rometiklan, I really don't notice it much. I guess I'm just used to something back there.
