Well, my roommate got a reef tank, and not to be outdone I decided to do a planted tank
I went with a 20 gallon extra high
A 48 watt t5 high output fixture (nova extreme)
Fluorite as my substrate
Overall for it being only the 3rd day I've had it I feel like its turning out well.... Also I really am enjoying myself, its nice to have something that grows and changes over time as a result of your care!
Once the tank cycles are you going to get any fish?
I have one guy in there right now, a rainbow shark. I bought 1.5 ounces of dirty water and put that in, let it run for 2 days and had the store test my water and it turned out to be right on.
I definitely plan on getting more fish, I really want a High Fin Swordtail (gonna probably wait at least 2 months to make sure my water is doing well though) and I was considering a twin tailed betta (though I dont know if they're too aggressive or not).
I'm also going to get some blue crays and some cherry shrimps for color.
Oh got any pics of the shark? I wouldnt suggest the blue cray the floor place is to small. The only suggestion i would give is some barbs. They are a semi aggresive fish so they would do good with your semi aggressive shark.

Congrats on your hard work! I'm sure it will shape up nicely.
