sweet,

i'm starting to toy in my head with the idea of pulling out and setting up the spare 7 and 10 G tanks ive got to add to my growing MTS.

What type of moss do you have in the 10G's? is it Java or one of the Christmas moss types?

The moss is Christmas moss.

I like the use of light in the 36g tank. What kind of lamps are you using? Your tanks have real character, I like your style.

The 36 has 120 watts of PC lighting - 10,000k and 48 watts of T-5 - 6,400k.

Thanks for the kind words.

Beautiful tanks, very lush and green! I like the way the narrow-leaf java fern is arranged and all going the same way. I like the moss on the driftwood. What is the grassy foreground in the 36, and what is the three-leaf plant on the left in the first 10 gallon?

The left side is B. japonica, the right side is dwarf hairgrass. I have no idea what that plant is. I got it ion a trade and the other person did not know what it was either.

Thanks, Rich. I did guess correctly on the Blyxa. Whatever the mystery plant is, it's nice.

It really is fun seeing how the scapes evolve in your aquariums. The one thing I STILL don't see is a shrimp colony, despite you're having TWO 10 gallon aquariums now.
