Awesome tanks!! What type of lighting are you using?

Thanks very much. Oh these tanks all have HO T5's in various configurations.

I have been working on tidying this tank up some more. Here is a quick shot from last night.



The underwater area needs some more plants. I will post a new full-tank shot when I get it resolved.

Here is the view down inside. This is what i see every time i walk by.

Would it be possible to ID your plants? I would like to get a few for my tank. Your tank is so impressive to see!!!

Yes well like I say have a look at that blog post it has most of those plants labelled and with notes. Here is a shot from the post.

Thanks for the ID. I need to see if we have some of those plants here in the area. Can't say if I have heard of the names. They are beautiful plants.

The combination of swordplants (Echinodorus) and sweetflag (Acorus) looks real nice in this setup.

I can send you some cuttings and small divisions for real cheap (S&H reimbursement) if you might be interested. I still have extras of some of that stuff.
