I'll post up a video in a bit when everything is settled in. I had to fish some green flier juvies out. 1st lesson learned.

29g tank
eheim 2215
coralife T5 HO 30" Dual 31w Ballast 6700, and 10K

Driftwood
1 amazon sword
4 or 5 Vallisneria

plan on adding some crypts, and maybe some micro or chain swords for the foreground. Do I need more light?

Livestock:
12 orange von rio flame tetras
5 coryadoras metae
1 pair apistogramma agassizii (orange?)

Comments? Suggestions?
 
lets see some pictures!
 
wife went out of town and took the camera. She did leave me the flip cam though. I've got to grab it from the car and charge it a bit. Everything is cowering in the corner right now anyway.
 
just got the video uploaded. same stock list as the previous post, plus I almost forgot, there is ONE (maybe the only one?) balloon bodied archocentrus centrarchus living in the tank. He's harmless and will eventually come out. See if you can spot him in the video:

Looks great!!!

You might want to hide that spray bar a bit better though. It's the only thing that detracts from your tank. Maybe a black one with black suction cups?

I have a 20 Amazon tank too. I really like yours though!
 
Wow, great tank! Love it!
