Plants:
This is the IFFY part. I kinda went on a plant buying spree and forgot the names of some of the plants i purchased and picked some up from a buddy who may have given me the wrong names. So please correct me where i am wrong.
Staurogyne Repens
Micro Sword
Bacopa Caroliniana
Madegascar Lace
Carolina fanwort
Red Melon Sword
Water Sprite
anubias congensis
Anubias nana
Cryptocoryne wendtii "red"
Java Moss
The only plant i need an ID on is the Stem plant all the way in the back left.(redish tint)

Im Looking for criticism on my tank. Personally i know i have a bunch of plants that will outgrow this tank. Which sucks but when i first set up the tank i went on a buying spree and didnt really educate myself on all the plants i was buying.

Good looking tank. That Water Sprite is going to grow really fast and from my experiance will make a mess of your tank. As it grows pieces of it will fall off and start floating around. I pulled all of it out of my 60 gallon. I had two basket ball sized chunks of it floating on the top of that tank. Other than that. I say good job.

Looks very healthy! I mean its borderline overloaded with plants, but im sure it keeps the inhabitants happy and water pristine.
