Over the past few weeks I have been setting up a 46G planted aquarium. So far with much success! My only snag so far is that one of my 55W power compact bulbs was busted in shipping so I am waiting for the FedEx claim to go through to finally have all 110W. The specs are as follows:

Tank - 46G Bowfront
Lighting - Jebo 110W power compact lighting
Substrate - Eco complete planted with a thin layer of black sand on top
Plants - I ordered this deluxe plant pack from liveaqauria.com. This consist of Micro Sword, Anubias Nana or Anubias Barteri Round Leaf, ChainSword - Narrow Leaf, Java Fern, Red Cryptocoryne or Green Cryptocoryne, Water Sprite, Ludwigia - Broad, Anacharis, Cabomba, and Amazon Sword Plant (Regular Potted).
Filtration- I currently have a Penguin 200, but I just ordered the Marineland c-220 canister filter last night.
Future plans- C02 induction and whatever else comes up.

Finally, here are the pictures! Sorry for the poor quality.. The lighting and photography skills were not in my favor.

Comments and suggestion are needed! Thank for viewing the tank.

LMAO that is pretty cool.

You're going to need something small to fit into the small areas of the building to help keep it clean. Shrimp maybe?
 
AWSOME!!i wish u had a lego squid to atk the place....that be sweet
 
We have the lego squid, shark, lobster, and crab as well. We have this entire "series" of legos. There are just to many to put into the tank. There are 2 gouramis in the tank. We are planning on adding about 15 or so tetras in the near future, along with some shrimp for the cleanup crew.
 
lol..wow.

So that's where Atlantis went....

Thanks for putting a smile on my face. ;)
