Looking great Dave. Nice work.

Red temple is a slow grower I'm finding out. I'm trying to create a BIG patch of red in the center.
There doesn't seem to be an appreciable difference in growth between the ones planted in red clay vs the ones planted in Eco.

What kind of light fixture do you have on top. I was looking for some VHO lights and have seen that fixture in your posts and wolf's. Wondering where I could find that on the internet. Thanks.

Mine is too....but it sure looks nice!
Awesome tank. Keep the pictures coming. Lots of depth to the scaping, which I really like (can you feel the jealousy?)

Wow-that is a gorgeous tank. Lucky fish! Nice to see that your danios get to live the high life, and the hatchets have enough pals to be happy. That angel thinks he is so cool!
LOVELY! I'm drooling too, and off to find a branch to have "fall" into my tank.....

A year later 
BBA finally got the best of the tank. It's been heavily pruned, 75% of plants removed/replaced, caves & wood pieces removed, sanded/cleaned/replaced.
Thx,
Dave
Sorry, I had some pix but I'm over my limit

A year later..
No dosing, no co2. I top off with room temp. water that sits out so no dechrol. needed.
Thx,

The tank is coming together good now. The thing I like most about planted tanks is being able to change things so easy and watching stuff evolve.
One lesson I've learned this past year is.. simple is better. This tank gets no dosing, no chemicals, no ferts, just water, fish and plants.
I don't do water changes per se, I skim the bottom for gunk when it needs it and what water comes out in the process I replace with water that's been standing at room temp, hence no dechlor.
I have done 2 PWC of about 25% and replaced with Ro water.
Thx,
Dave
