These are two of my three tanks. One is hogwarts themed. That one is still in progress. It's a 37 high that serves as a guppy breeding tank. The other houses two bichir that are around 10" at the moment, a featherfin catfish, and a striped raphael catfish. The lighting is diy and puts out almost exactly 3wpg to sustain the plants. I can give specifics about how I did the lighting if you're curious. It costs about 25$ per tank, looks great, and spreads light more thoroughly than any set up I have ever seen. Definitely the way to go if you're interested in a planted tank.

Bump for rates!!
 
Funny thing, mine seemed capped around 7" for about a year and so I switched their diet to freeze dried jumbo krill and bloodworms. They grew three inches in 8 months with the diet shift. Im purchasing a 180 gallon next weekend that will house them once I get it scaped properly. I might get some baby aro's to put on this tank at that point.
