Here is my 55 gallon Rainbow and Congo Tetra tank.
This is "lightly" planted with low-light plants, including java ferns, a large crypt, and two anubias. I'm using the Marineland double-bright LEDs on this one. I know there is some dispute on whether they are bright enough, but see for yourself- I think the plants look healthy so far.
I tried to do some mild terracing on the left by the anubias by piling up substrate behind a piece of driftwood. I have seen some comments in other posts that this could cause "anaerobic pockets." What is that exactly, and it is really a big threat to the tank if I leave it like that? I like the effect of the different levels.
