[beginner on the loose]

Im looking for setup ideas so if you would like, put up pictures and give a semi-detailed description of plants used, the size of the tank, lighting levels, lighting systems, price of plants, co2 system, if possible the fish in the tank, just for fun. Basically anything you got, if its not too much trouple. Just show off all you got!
