Thanks!
Thanks! I prefer your plant diversity, but I am having such good luck with these Amazon Swords I figured I would just run with them and eventually transfer them into a bigger tank

This is the most recent pic I've taken of this tank (about a week ago). I've since rescaped, however, and will update again as it fills in. 
I removed a ton of the Dwarf Sag which disrupted the balance of this tank resulting in some nasty algae issues. I added another filter (HOT Magnum) to the tank from my 50G and have increased the CO2 and Excel dosing. I've also spread out the Hydrocotyle more and tossed in a few MTS snails. The Bacopa slowly melted away. I'm not sure why but suspect the Excel.

36W Bright kit from AH Supply. http://www.ahsupply.com/36-55w.htm
You just need an existing hood or canopy to install this retro-kit into.

I love the algae on your driftwood. it looks very natural. Nice job overall. Good that you resisted Collectoritis and kept the scape fairly simple. I like.
Thanks Frosty. Yeah, at the moment, I only have 3 species of plants in there. There is also a dwarf Lily bulb present that is beginning to sprout some new leaves. The old one out grew my tank so I removed the monstrosity, split it into 3 sections and put them in my 50G long. The bulb was then returned to this tank to start it all over again. I'll try to post some current pics later tonight. The Hydrocotyle is growing wild at the moment but it looks very natural. I guess that's the look I'm going for here. It's not as eye-catching as my original scape, but it's a lot less work...lol.
Here's the tank as of today. It's still not where I want it to be...but this tank changes face so often, it doesn't really matter.
...and here it is today.
I haven't done much at all to it since the last pic was taken. I just let it grow wild. The fish sure do like it better all overgrown like this.
