I just wanted to share...I'm so thrilled with how this worked! :D I've just finished setting up my little tank...used "Chuck's Planted Aquarium Pages" method for setting up a planted tank. So, lots of plants, excel(instead of CO2 since it's a little one) and a couple weeks to establish growth...then added otos (on his suggestion as first fish...). It's been a week with fish. No ammonia, no nitrite, two active happy otos, no obvious algae. Love it! Just having to start fertilizers now cause my nitrate's bottoming out...
 
Nice Job.

I wish that I had not been so afraid to do the planted tank thing from the beginning. The next tank will be done the way you did yours.

Can we see pictures?
