Very exciting and amazing job! I WISH I had your talent when it comes to tanks!

Dayum! That's a good looking tank! Loving the island look. Are you putting stem plants behind it?

thanks everyone.

Rick behind the island probably not, will just keep it anubias,ferns there. But on the sides the options are endless..

Well i started tearing down the 29g slowly and holy crap do i have alot of plants..
Im still not working on plant arrangement in this tank but transferring plants over so later on i know what i have/how much/ and what looks good in the tank.
Heres what i have so far, a huge carpet of blyxa (not all used)

Tank is already almost fully planted and im still stuck with a 29g full of plants lol..
Plant sale here i come.

Did you say earlier BK - how much and what type of light are you using?

 

[DAVIDFBT]

Nice bk. Where are the fish from the 29?

 

[Bk718]

Thanks foo, I think im going to keep the blyxa carpet instead of micro tenellus. The blyxa look is growing on me.

cfsinc, for now the light is a regular 40w strip but tomorrow i plan to add the ahsupply retrofit giving me 2x55w (2wpg)

Dave the fish are still in the 29g. Ill transfer them to the this tank after im done organizing the plants.
