Great tank and polys. To keep mine from fading out i mixed black in with the pfs but my pfs looks alot whiter than yours for some reason. I like yours better. I had valisneria in my tank but they kept unrooting it so i moved it out

Mwahahaha! Welcome to the darkside! :D
The tank looks great Burbot. Great use of the rocks around the plant bases too. If you've been stuck finding the Coal Slag, try places that rent sandblasting equipment. That's where I got mine from. I just mixed about 20lbs into my 125 with the PFS and they bichirs colours darkened right away and have stayed even now that it's mixed.
BTW, your ornate is freaking HUGE! That's awesome. I need to get a hold of a few babies to try and grow out to full size.

Had to share a pic of this girl. Nothing special really other than the difficulty in photographing her. Skinny lap about 19inches, bland coloration but still a fav.

Couple of the others right after the sand swap. I am looking forward now to getting some pics of them once the plants fill in. Although the vegetaion will make getting clear shots of some a bit harder I am sure (with the exception of the dels and sen)
