cf even after a 'thorough' cut, your tank still looks like a beautiful jungle! Some of the red tones may be gone, but I'm sure tomorrow's updated tank shot will show signs of new growth... glosso looks great as usual. How are the plans for the wife-approved tank coming along? Do you have a theme yet (planted/biotope, etc.)?
 
Thanks Vader.

I've got the green light from the Mrs. on the MegaTank 150 (lol). It's definitely going to be planted. Right now trying to visualize the mixture of driftwood, plants, etc. Getting a good feel for what grows to what proportions in my 45 gallon.

Family vacation in mid-October. Had hoped to start setup shortly after that, but it may be after January 1.

Before getting started I will post a thread asking for suggestions - all the way from the stand to filters to lighting to plant and stock suggestions. Should be kind of fun to see the different opinions I receive. An overall build thread from start to finish is the plan!
 
Beautiful! Can't wait to see what you create with the 150!
 
Its so nicely laid out its a shame those seams are hiding all the beauty.
