Flowers in my 300g

Looks very nice. Congratulations!
 
Awesome!
 
Very nice! I think I remember that outdoor triangle tank from a build thread last year. If so, how's the algae control?
 
Very cool!
I bet that's a sight to see in person.
How about a shot from the front showing the viewing panel as well as the plants...?

Amazing and beautiful. Can you or someone else post what plants those are? One day when I'm totally crazy I might want to try and do the same!
 
Very nice! Are the white flowers from an amazon sword? I had one begin to bud but the flowers never really opened unfortunately
 
Thanks for the comments guys.
1. No problem with the Algae so far. The 36W UV lamp and the huge number of floating plants covering the top surface seem to be doing the job.
2. The red flower is Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), not sure what the white color one is, probably an amazon variety. It has hundreds of flowers every morning and a very pretty sight. The leaves of all the plants are extremely large probably because of the nitrate supply from the fish.
3. I have built another sump (6'X2.5'X2) attached to the smaller sump I already have in which I'll be growing more water plants. With this extra sump the total water volume in the system would be about 650 gallons.
4. I've attached a few pictures showing the front panel, it is very difficult to get good shots because of the reflection of the sun light.
