i have had this display set up for a few months. my idea is for a loose interpretation of a South American riverbank habitat.
all of the tank system components and stand--less the Teklight--were easy to find and pretty economical. the aquarium is a 65 gallon Aqueon with top rim popped off.
that Echinodorus flower spike is reaching way out into room. the other plants still need to grow in some more. i used Riparium Supply stuff to plant all of the emergent plants. the underwater plants are planted into pool filter sand. they get bi-weekly ferts and Excel every day. the underwater plants do more or less ok like this because the water is mostly shaded by the emergent stuff. i like the mix of emergent plants, but i need to work on the underwater scape some more.
i'll post more specs later.
