a few months later... new black background, mostly new plants. Getting better at the live plants. At the time, thought it was sooo beautiful!

October 2009 Took out the plants that I didn't like or didn't grow well. Kept the ones I liked. Started dosing excel and flourish the month before.

These were taken yesterday. I ordered some more plants (thanks, MsJinkzed and Customdrum!) I think it looks so nice. Amazing how much the plants have grown since I started using Excel. The Water sprite has been trimmed twice already, it grows so fast!

I like it in the first picture more than I do in the recent ones.

I kid.
 
Very very nice, but you're right that first pic with the saltwater background hurts the eyes.
 
Looks so puritty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like you are hooked :)

Thank you for your nice comments everyone!!
 
Great looking! (how much did you have to pay to get rid of the dorky SW background?)
