Well I don't want anything high upkeep so I don't want to many plants ;)

Here is the tank this morning. Going to pickup lights tonight and some teracota pots and artificial plants :)

Thanks for the link :)

Looks very nice, can't really comment on if its overstocked or not but it looks really neat.

That looks like a good plan if all else fails but I don't have $70 bucks laying around lol. I'm out of work right now, got injured on the job so we are real tight at the moment but I will post a picture tomorrow after pwc.

Well I have had them blacked out since Monday after the water change and things are looking good. The water is milky but not green, we are going to do a 30% wc tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks for the recommendations on plants. Any tips on good lighting? If I go with low light plants do I need anything extra to keep them alive?

Thanks for the replies, the light is usually on less that 8 hours a day. The light is a Aqueon 8,000k Full Spectrum Daylight. As for plants what do you recommend? My substrate is about a inch of aquarium gravel and I would need something low maintenance as I am disabled at the moment and can...

Hey guys and gals I have a 30 gallon and I have been battling green water for over 2 months and I have tried everything from algae tabs, new filters and the extreme complete drain and cleaning. This weekend I did a 72 hour blackout on the tank and it seemed to help a good bit so I did a 50%...
