nice, running any co2? and is that the catalina light fixture?

you should really get rid of some of that wisteria, replace it with something red. You have the lights for it, so you might as well try and go all out on it. R. macarandra japan is pretty sweet looking, and I've been seeing Ludwigia sp. Atlantis around on aquabid lately. Was that green crypt grown in your tank that way or did you buy it large? Asking because I feel like it might grow more compactly over time if you trimmed it and let it come back on its own or something.

Great looking tank, all you need to do now is clean off a few of those water stains from the front panel and it would look even better

i have been toying with the idea of replacing some of the wisteria with something red. I like to have lot of wisteria for trimmings for my silver dollars, but something red might be nice. I will look into some of the reds you mentioned. The crypts have all grown in over time. They were much smaller when I got them.
I am running CO2 I am having a touch time getting my drop checker to turn lime green.
It is a catalina. It is 48 inches with three bulbs.

What co2 system are you using? I'm still trying to figure out what would be good for mine, I have a 75 with the 4 light catalina and same dosing schedule.

You definitely should try something red though. Personally though, I want to try and spend some big money on a big Aflame Sword or a White Anubias......but I'll deal with that after I replace all the plants I lost due to Sandy

I have a 10 lb tank. I used to use a traditional dual stage regulator. I bought it from someone reputable but turned out to be a terrible build. After a year of head aches I replaced it with a green leaf aquatics atomic v3( think I got the name right). Using a DIY version of cerges reactor.
