Sorry, I just signed up for this hosting today, and I didn't know you couldn't put images like that. Please visit my album http://community.webshots.com/album/86657665xVpAJL

Aaron, your link didn't work for me.
If you are going to go up to 3.5 watts/gal. you will need to:
1. Load that puppy up with stem plants and other nutrient hogs. And maybe some good floaters like Salvinia or Water Sprite to suck up nutrients and shade the tank till it breaks in with the additional light. Moving from 1.5 to 3.5 is a big jump in a small tank. Are the plants you have in there well established?

2. Consider dosing N,P and K in addition to the traces your Flourish provides.

3. Be as sure as possible that you can keep the CO2ppm up to 20 or even higher.

Lol. I realyl wanted to see your tank and it was getting frustrating not being able to.

Anyways, i like your tank. Good job:)

[Hebdizzle]

thanks. MUCH better pictures should be coming soon. This is my dads camera so I am unfamiliar with settings. There is much more contrast and color in person :)

I think you need short plants or stones or something in front of that lovely piece of driftwood to incorporate it into your landscape so that it doesn't look like it's just sitting there. Or, perhaps something like java fern or bolbitis growing on it. Otherwise the setup is great; the plants around it are very nice. Good job. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to additional pictures.

kveeti,
thanks for the suggestions. I went looking for rocks to incorporate into the tank but was unsuccessful in what I was looking for. I agree, I need something there. I am hoping to get some plants such as Riccia fluitans or glosso to use as a large carpet. If someone wants to give some.... :D

PICTURES ARE UPDATED, but still are being improved. If anyone knows what kind of plant P8210003 is (one of my photos) please leave a message here!

Thanks everyone

To me, it looks like "aluminum plant" which is actually not a true underwater plant but is often sold as such. It is a bog plant.

Hmm.. it has been growing fine for about a month and a half, but we'll just have to see. It has a ton of anchor roots coming out of the side, so based on that I would say it is surviving.

Thanks

Aaron
