Here (http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view) are some pictures of my 75-gallon planted aquarium. Do you have any suggestions for a plant that I could use to replace one of the Amazon swords on the left side? Thanks.

The link doesn't seem to work.

Try typing in George_J in the Visit Album box on the left hand side of the main picture trail webpage. (http://www.picturetrail.com)

That's really a nice tank. :) You're probably going to tear up most of the left side trying to get that sword out. I'd probably extract more than one and then try to lighten up that area some with something shorter in front of what you leave. I have a dark area on the right side of my 55 gallon I've been working on.. I made the mistake of putting both a Crypt becketti and a rubin sword in there. I had no idea the crypt would start growing out of the tank within four months. :D The rubin is gonna have to leave too one of these days...

Great looking tank. I hope mine comes out as well.
After seeing the size of the Amazon Sword, I think I will take the advice to leave it out of my 50 gal.

I really like the way you've got that Pennywort growing. I know how hard they try to grow upright. I work hard at trying to keep mine growing horizontally, but not with the same great results you've had.
Nice tank

you got a nice foreground composition there. like the transition of each plant from the corner to the bare gravel near the middle. overall a very healthy aquarium.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing the pictures! :)
What kind of filtration do you use? I can't place the filter under the tank...
Edit: Not that it matters, but who's is it? Jeremy's tank or George's? :D

That's beautiful! I was going to ask what the round-leaf plant on the right side was but djlen answered that for me. Hydrocotyle (the pennywort) is on my "wants" list but it's nearly impossible to find a variety of plants here.

Yes, definitely leave out the Amazon sword, they get too big. ;)

I have an Eheim ECCO 2235 canister filter. It’s in the right side of the stand.
