Thanks 
Its really different working in this tank... Still getting used to this smaller size from my 135 Gallon (I have nowhere to set it up in my place)

Well the windelov is now gone. It was harboring some nasty staghorn algae so I pulled it out for a bleach dip before it gets moved to another tank.
Starting to add some moss to the wood now. Its growing pretty fast now so I can move a few patches a day to spread it around.
Here is also some of the glosso growing on the substrate, I have to add some more flourite to this tank because its a little low.
The glosso all started from 5 tiny pieces with about 4 leaves on each little strand. I has really started to spread quickly and I see noticable growth every day on each individual stem that has branched off.

Wow! I am shocked. I really do love this tank. I haven't really ever seen a FW tank that made me wish mine was planted. Yours make me so jealous. I have also never seen the slate idea so that is a wonderful new suprise for me. I will be saving a pic of this so I can place it in my future dream tanks folder ^^
P.S. Would it be possible to see a picture of the entire tank setup? (aka stand and surroundings)

Here is a shot of the living room, I really like where this tank is placed, it can be seen from every couch, loveseat and chair in the living room (and, it doesnt glare off the TV!)
OK can we also get a picture from your front yard looking into your living room with your shades drawn open. Then can you stat up a log the fireplace and take pictures of your fish tank with the lights dimmed slightly.
JK, you have an awesome setup. Hey if your on XBOX live hit me a up friend request, you can get my gamertag from my public profile page here on my sig under My Home Page.

Well I got some cuttings today (thanks Dosage) and I changed things up a bit. I was really lucky and got some really nice plants. They will need a bit of time to straighten up, but they are in good health already, so thats a huge bonus.

WOW! Outstanding tank decor! That slate wall is beyond impressive and the plant arrangement is perfection! I am green with envy! LOL. I can't imagine that was easy to create, but it was certainly well worth it! Even better than most of the show tanks I see in local competitions! Incredible job and you should be extemely proud!
