picked up co2 tank at lunch today. got a 10lb that is fatter than usual so it is not as high. great pricing too.

all equipment set up. still need to get it all on timers. tank is full and still full of bubbles. thinking of putting some taller grass in between the driftwood with smaller ground cover in the rest of the tank. to the right of the little slate wall will stay bare ground in case i get some gymnos. 3-d background is always washed out in pics, but i am very happy with it. it is not that shiny looking in the tank.
