Hey everyone. I want to say thanks to everyones help so far here on AC. After a few problems with the tank itself (one including springing a miniture leak in the middle of the night that managed to travel from the tank, onto my bed and hit my head 
) I finally have an established, running and planted tank! It may look fairly devoid of fish, but its pretty busy with small inhabitants. There are probably 15-20 Red Eye'd Chubs, 10 Least Kili-fish, 20 Ghost shrimp, A Black-nosed Shiner, 7 Topwater Minnows, 2 very small, brighty colored sunfish with black spots on their Lat. Line, 10 Mosquito fish, 4 Marbled Mosquito fish (all of the previous fish were caught by me locally) and a very fat and happy feeder goldfish that escaped my Turtle Tank.
Thanks again everyone! Next up on my list is to start IDing the plants I've collected from a nearby sping. Eel grass does a great job of filling a tall 55g Hex tank!
The Begining: and the mess it made of my room!
