Topfin 125G Build, PetSmart BF Deal

You might wind up with LOTS of mollies if you've got a mix of males and females and enough hiding spaces for babies.
 
No idea what I'm doing lol. Got my sample plant package in. Figured with sample I can figure what works and what doesn't.

That looks awesome, For me crypts and swords flourished the most. I also have enough christmas moss to make a soccer ball. I`ve moved it to two seperate tanks and it never stops doing well so I highly recommend that, plus it will grow attached to anything.

Another one for me that grew like a weed was lymnophilia, it can grow anchored in the substrate or floating.
 
Great looking setup! I bought the same deal on Black Friday. It was a heck of a deal. I am currently using the stand that came with it but I wish I had built one...i'll get around to it one of these days. The particle board stand that came with it is already swelling in one spot where it got a little wet.
 
Thanks. Some of the plants and rooting well and others look to be struggling a bit.
The price I think was a steel. Im hoping someone will buy the stand from me. Glad I built my own. First time I turned pumps on, a few gallons of water came gushing out everywhere. I'm sure the original stand would have been toast.
 
Added some dwarf gouramis to the tank. Tank is looking much more lively now. Still fighting some algae on the substrate though.

Thank you. I'm very much a newbie with plants in aquarium. The whole family loves watching the progress and fish.
