This is no award winner but the plants have filled in alot. It's sort of a collector tank with a scrambled mix of plants. Still can't get all the overexposure out but gettin better...

That is a BIIIIG sword plant! Is that driftwood I think I see on the right side? :laugh:
 
CH, Everything looks really healthy, nice going :) Those swords are huge! My Echinodorus bleheri outgrew my 65g in less than 6 months (ended up ~20" wide, 22" high and still growing strong), they get pretty darn big.

I'm in Toronto too, what store do you recommend for plants? Thanks!
Rosemary, Big Al's in Scarborough usually has a nice selection of potted plants (varies month to month), and the PJ's in the Yorkdale mall is a good source for Anubias and many varieties of Crypts and swords. I find the stems at BA's are usually in better shape, but I've bought from both and had them do just fine. SuperPet (near Lawrence subway station) sometimes has nice stuff, but I'd call and ask when they're getting an order in and go then - their plants seem to deteriorate after being there for a while, possibly not enough light.
PJ's will special order you any plant you'd like from Tropica in Denmark, and gives deals on larger orders. SuperPet and PJ's are owned by the same company, so it's likely SP will do the same. I'm not sure if BA's does special orders on plants, but I'm willing to bet they do, they're pretty good to their customers :).
