Here's the most recent FTS of my 40 breeder. Started mid Feb.

Stock:
11 Kerri Tetra
1 Praecox Rainbow
1 Turq. Rainbow
3 Goyder River Rainbows
4 Brochis Cories

Next week, the rainbows are moving to my 125 and I'll have a pair of Triple Red Apistos and 8 Kitti Tetras added to this tank. Will be re-arranging plants as well.

How did u get the plants to glow? Was it an effect on the camera???

I read the build thread on it. It is a black light fixture and those plants happen to be glow in the dark :) I usually don't like fake plants but that is really cool.

Very nice use of a blacklight. I assume the bright plants, dark substrate, and blacklight created the "nighttime @ Pandora" look? Good work, looks great.

If not blacklight, please let me know how you did that.
