That looks really cool. You got some nice pieces of driftwood.

What is that tall plant on the left side? I have that same plant, got it from a friend who didn't know what it was called.

Looks to be a hygro?

Nice layout!

Nice layout, although you could afford a few more plants in your tank.

Nice setup! How much did it cost you to set up the CO2 system on this tank? I'm mulling over ideas for my 75 when I set it up for my Gymnogeophagus in the future. Still debating how bright to do the lighting and CO2 vs no CO2, etc. I'd like to do something along these lines, but maybe a few more plants

It's not done, it will have a lot more plants in the future.

I'd wait to add more plants.. in time you'll have plenty, if you have the set up correct.

The Atlanta Area Aquarium Association Auction (5 As) is in 2 weeks...I doubt I will go hope without any plants LOL

What I've got should start to fill in a lot faster once I get the CO2 running (just need a better check valve).

The Echinodorus tenellus has already produced about 4-5 runners.
