Dude...that tank looks sick! Awesome Job....Im thinking off doing something similar with my 75 and archers after seeing yours!
Thanks! They're really fun, and now that the canopy is up they can't spit in my food.
Gonna hopefully get some better shots this weekend on a real camera.

That pirate action figure in the video with the turtle was priceless LOL! Nice setup! I'm trying to use more natural materials in my tanks now. I'm really into leaves at this point and they are actually pretty functional and decorative at the same time!
would be really cool if you put in a mist machine

Video update! New plants, bit new arrangement, same awesome turtle!
The wavy lines on the dry glass are actually caused by nerite snails. To my surprise and enjoyment they seem to spend a lot of their time out of the water when given the option. I've seen them climb all the way up the glass to the rim before going back down 2' to the moist area. You can see one pretty high up on the glass at about :31.
Some of the lights are off and the nightlights are on as it is almost nighttime in the tank in this vid.
Oh and I know a bunch of those pothos leaves are going to die due to water or heat lamp exposure. I'm fine with this, they've already started growing new leaves in more favorable positions only 2 days into being in the tank. Can't wait for all those roots to visibly fill in the gaps in the landmass.
