I just finished setting up this 75 gal. for my GTs. Java fern is the only plant I've tried that still grows while being ripped out by Terrors. This is the first time I've had a tank with sand. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Beautiful setup... I think you should get some pics of your bottom dwellers as well... Sand is the way to go, easiest thing to maintain.. And I am wondering what that stone in the middle is for... Kinda not gelling there just MO... All in all I rate this at 10/10 :) good job buddy...
 
Looks great! That drift wood you got there looks amazing. How do you get the fern to stick to the wood?
Thanks, I'm trying to keep the scape simple and open so my big old terror has plenty of room to swim. I drill 1/8 holes in the wood and tie the fern on with fishing line, in time the roots will cling really good. Some of the stuff to the left has been growing on there for years. The leaves should be thicker and longer by now but like I said it gets very harsh treatment.

Glad you like it bro! The rock has sentimental value lol. I agree though, will lose the rock! my plecos are very hard to get shots of especially after being moved to a new tank. I'll post some pics I took of them about a month ago in the old tank;)
Nice looking tank and a lovely pair of GTs.
Thank you, I love my GTs. I've had them for quite a while.
 
very soon your tank is goin to have a twin... cause my setup for the pair of GT will be similar to yours... when i stumbled on your thread regarding my overflow i was like this guy has pictured my thoughts perfectly :)
 
Ok these aren't the best pics and yes, my Blue Phantom needs to gain some weight. I'm working on that.
