We originally got the tank because it fit in the corner and looks very good in the room. Then I got the idea of making it a planted tank after it had been up a year (ripped out the UGF, new substrate, the whole nine yards about 8 weeks ago - lost only 1 fish). The tank has certainly been a big challenge to light and scape. It's coming together - a great deal of patience required. I will post a couple updated pics after the weekend.
