AphexMatt's 10G Planted Tank (pic. hvy)

The Otos are little crackheads!
Update on the tank and surrounding madness: I changed the lighting on the 10G to just 2 6700K 9W bulbs, one in ea. fixture as per suggestions on plantedtank.net. I finally looked at my heater it was only 25Watts so i added another small one, this is just a temp fix though. But the big news is I have finally started putting together the ikea furniture i took apart to fit the tank in. It involves some custom wood working on my (and my fiance's fathers part) but so far I have the initial mock up...
My fiance is a decorative painter/artist so I will be able to match the new pieces to the existing. Plans include an intigrated light top over the 10G.

I agree! Your tank is great!! It has a larger tank feel to it when I look at the FTS and is very nicely done!
First of all, great tank! You've got some gnarly lookin driftwood and I love the guppy grass drapings 
Once you get that black background, the attention will be focused on what's in the tank and it will look a lot bigger!
About the otos though, I'd keep them in quarantine for at least 4 weeks, you never know what they might be harboring even if they look healthy and active. And I'm sure you don't want to endanger that beautiful betta!
