Thanks all. I work on it everyday, it always seems like there is something I need to do to it. That pic was from about 3 months ago and I will post an updated pic soon...I just have to find my camera first.

Thanks for all the comments. I have to admit I think that the saltwater tank right above my pic in the contest is better than mine. I wish that there was a bigger pic of it. I really commend whoevers tank that is on a job well done.

Sadly, I lost my 2 chocolate gouramis today. They were my favorite fish. I dont know what happened to them, they just up and died. I did add five pentazona barbs and 2 more cories today though.
