As mentioned. This is my first try at a planted tank. I've been out of town for the last 1 1/2 weeks. I couldn't believe how fast the plants are starting to fill in. It's been up for about 3-4 weeks.

Looks great! I like how there's no "center-piece" plant or driftwood. It makes it look natural that way... I forgot if you are using CO2?? Keep updates going. :) Also, good variety on p[lants and the color of them...
