I was just thinking that I've been posting on here for a little while, but haven't shown pictures of my tanks yet. Guess I've been avoiding that just because I have 4 tanks to show and list all the inhabitants of and tank specs. :) But here we go:

I have 3 planted tanks, a 55g, 29g, and a 3g.

55g planted: 130w of PC lighting, Eco-complete substrate, Rena XP3 cannister, Stealth heater (250w I think), DIY CO2 sometimes (when i remember to refill the bottle)
*fish: 6 Flame tetras, 8 Head and Tailights, 6 Rummynose tetras, 1 Angelfish, 4 Yoyo loaches, 1 Bristlenose, 3 Otocinclus, Cories (Sodalis, Trilineatus, Schwartzi...not really sure how many), Bolivian Ram, and a 3-spot Gourami. Overstocked I know...but it works. :)

Sorry its so long! But I have alot of fishies. If I need to resize the pics, just tell me and I will. :) Thanks for looking....congrats on making it all the way through the post. :D
 
those are totally awsome tanks!! tell me, whats the subtrate ? I love it, and what kind of lighting do you use since your tanks do not have hoods, do you just hang a light over head? I want a planted tank, just not sure how to do it.
 
I hate to see planted 29g that are so much better then mine like that. Do you dose ferts? I have the same lighting, just not as much talent I guess :(.
 
I LOVE the black backgrounds, the plants, the driftwood, the substrate...there's not a thing I would change. Just beautiful.

What's that one background- it looks mostly black with like a marble look to it?
 
nice tanks!
