Update on my 125 with my first live plants!!

[Steveo McNello]

I finished the canopy yesterday, got the right bulbs, and went and got my plants today. I am new to this whole live plant business. I'm still looking for a nice piece of driftwood.

Any thoughts? =]

looks nice
you should try to get a grasslike pant to cover the whole tank

Nicely done, I'm going to do my first planted tank as well.

Looks good...Chiclid I am assuming right?

looks very nice, but I agree that some driftwood would be a great addition ...

Yeah I agree more driftwood and add some java moss on the pots to make the look more natural.

Good luck with the plants, I was going to try one after I lost all my Mbuna's but somthing to me to buy a Red Devil....The tank looks awesome and driftwood would really make a difference.

looks nice.The only thing I'd change is the flower pots.I do have tons of the same color in most of my tanks which drives me crazy but they came out with a brown tinted clay pot now that looks better.Maybe its just me?Great homes and great for breeding etc but kinda an eye sore.I'm slowly changing over in mine to the brown ones now. Another thing I do to hide them is cover them with slate or driftwood which looks better also.Your plants may hide them also if you put the plants closer to them which would look nicer,but I like how ya kinda dug em in to the sand and they're almost hidden already.I also like the rounded rocks-simple but real.looks good though and love the plant lay out.Do you run c02 or just lights?
