:drool: Gorgeous! I love fern based setups. I'd love to see a write on this tank...flora, fauna, lighting, ferts, co2 etc. & more pictures! 
The Geo tank is a great start and I can't wait to see it planted & stocked!

Thank you all very much
I got about half the plants I ordered for the 150G in yesterday, still waiting on the 8 anubias. Got confirmation from Jeff Rapps last night, fish are on their way.
