Ripariums for Plant Filtration

PPPPPPPPPPPICS!

Yes sorry here is a quick picture with just the tank on the stand. I was working on it some more tonight but didn't get much more done than a black background and I also fixed some dings in the drywall behind the setup.

Looks awesome man! I love that location too, it looks so cool fit into that space.

I made a little more headway with it yesterday. I will try to post more pictures sometime but I have been so busy.

Here is a quick shot with water in the 37G. The tank is going to be about 40% full.

That's a light that I just threw on there quick. We are waiting for the Aquatic Life 2X18W T5 strip to get here shipped. Has anybody here ever used Aquatic Life fixtures before?

Excited to see progress on this!

I got a bunch of excellent new fish for my setups earlier this week. They arrived UPS Next Day in perfect shape...

I hope to have more pictures on the way soon.

Haven't been back here in a while...

Here are some more quick photo updates for my 50G.

It took me a while, but I really am pretty happy with how the underwater area is looking. I did a lot of shuffling to get a hardscape that I liked.

Riparium foliage...

My Lasia spinosa is easily my favorite plant right now. The leaves are so awesome. If anybody out there might be interested in this plant I can recommend a vendor who has some in stock. It is such a cool riparium plant and pretty easy to grow.

what kind of "palm" is that? I guess you have them in both corners.

That is cat palm (Chamaedorea cataractarum). It is a true rheophyte (stream-associated) palm so it likes to grow in the water. It's one of my favorite riparium plants.
