Amazing tank!

Such an amazing tank! You have real talent, which one day I hope to have! Can we get a plant list? I also notice co2 in the opposite corner of the tank back away from the flow. Does this work well for you? Seems like it would just all escape.

Lol, talent?? You really should have seen the tank over the past few months. Talent had less to do with it than sheer luck and alot of hard work. But thankyou very much for the kind words, all the same

The CO2 works well where it is. The flow from the iFlow pipes (knock off Lilly-pipes) spreads across the surface of the tank and down the left wall, with the undercurrent coming back to the right. The bubbles get caught up in this and I get pretty good coverage. I intend to upgrade to an inline atomiser at some point, though.

Plant list is:
Needle Java Fern
Windelov J. Fern
Staurogyne, sp.
E. Tenellus
Blyxa
Pogo Helferi (not travelling too well, atm)
Anubia Nana
Alternanthera Reineckii
Limnophila Aromatica
Eriocaulon Cinerium
another Erio that I can't recall the strain of just now
And a scattering of HC.

Fish:
Otocinclus
Rummy Tets
Harli Rasboras
Angels
Red Whiptail Catfish

And thanks to everyone else for the great comments too...I am just very happy to be finally able to share something half decent looking with all of you. So cheers!!

EDIT: Btw, to those that asked after the light. I am currently only running four tubes of the six. Although, when I am using them, the last pair only come on for a few hours a day, as a "midday burst" type effect.
