Very nice tank! i love the big bush of plants in the middle

Yea, unfourtunately that died :( I'm going to be moving the contents and fish into a 72 bow front and getting a stronger light for it (adding a 4x54w T5-HO lighting system in addition to the 2x54 on there now) and adding some better substrate on the portions of the tank I'd like to have a green carpet.

looks awesome, esp. the apistos!

Yea, I love the new Borellii and double red, the Rams look really nice now too, I just put them in there last night and they hadn't colored back up yet when I was taking these pics last night.

Here's another pic I forgot to post.

Looks great mate i think a few more plants and it will look spectacular.

Yea, for sure. Once I move everything into the 72 bow I'm going to load it up with plants :D Some star moss, flame moss, philippine java fern, pellia and Plagoimnum Affine.
