Are you more interested in the earlier pictures of the tank where it is a hex or the later pics when I had upgraded it to a standard tank? The earlier pics were a medium low light setup (read less plant options but easier to care for) while the later pics are a high light setup (read lots of plant options but more work to care for).
I am more interested in the earlier stages. I'm thinking of just using the tank for aesthetics, no fish at all. [I guess fish tanks only serve aesthetic purposes, but you know what i mean..]
I just want something pretty to look at. Simply. Subtle. Sweet.
I really like this look, 2 weeks after planting it.
If you can get about 2 WPG over your tank you should be able to achieve something very similar. That would put a 5 gallon at Medium Low light in my experience. The plants in that picture are as follows:
Dwarf Sag
Narrow Leaf Sag
Anubias Nana
Anubias Nana Petite
Green Hedge (Non Aquatic and should be avoided)
You'd be looking at some light fertilization but that's about it.
