But I might consider putting some more in there since everyone seems to agree that I should... Hmmm...
If you want speed with the growth of the plants, have you considered a CO2 system...heres a couple links.. with the Yeast you dont really need the reactor in the tank, just put the air stone near the output... And if you know this already then good luck with your tank. It looks very impressive. How's his temperment, is he still skittish around people?

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know much about CO2, but I'm going to look into it. As far as his temperment goes, he's Bi-Polar, he can be very very.. peacful.. He doesn't run from you but, he also doesn't swim after your finger. I have 2 crayfish in there with him, which I was kinda suprised to see that after about 2 months, he hasn't messed with them one bit. I also was trying to feed him Feeder Cuppies at first, which he will NOT eat them at all, they have been in there a LONG time, and he won't go after them even after 2 - 3 days without feeding.. But once I put the goldfish in there...
Poor poor goldfish... 
the guppies even have some fry swimming around in there... Hmmm..Monster_Jay said:
