New 300 Gallon tank

[basslover34]

Just had a new 300 gallon tank deleivered to my shop, I'm thinking of going a completly different way with this one and going for the Calm zen like feel for the tank with some small schooling fish that I can get some movement out of and yet still be surpised when I stop and look into the tank.

I'm interested in a Planted Tank but here is the thing... I have no idea where to start, I've never had a planted tank larger than 10 gallons and I honestly never took it seriously... Ideas, Pictures and anything which you feel could inspire this project to come to life would greatly be appreciated.

I can only imagine what i could do with that much potential .
I recommend 3 x 400 watt metal halides and low light plants and a huge school of cardinals over a huge school of corys

That's love right there, no other way to describe all that hard work. That man loves his fish more than anyone, all the time he probably put into the arranging of the plants, buying the wood and rocks, taking his time to put them in place. BEST FISH IN THE HISTORY OF FISH KEEPING!!!!!!
