Nice Ziggy! Looks great that amazon sword is gonna get big though!

Your aquarium is particularly pleasing upon which to gaze. (hee hee hee!!)
Seriously, I love the wood pushed to the back nestled in the corner and the amazon sword surrounded by the stones. The sword probably will get very large and all the better for it. It's just enough off center to look natural, on the good side of the wood where the wood is bowed in on that side.
It's beautiful, man, just beautiful.*sniff*

Thanks Matt!

It doesn't look as blue in person. The pics just aren't turning out as well as I would like. The blue background makes them look much bluer than it really is.

Thanks! I want the sword to get big, right where it is.

HAHA! I wasn't really going or ZEN when I placed the plants, they just kind of ended up there.

I can't wait either. I think the first additions to the tank will be a small school of neons. It will have to wait until later this week though, ok maybe tomorrow.

Nice. Does enough light hit the sides of the tank?

Well your in luck then!

When you coming to get some stuff?

I will probably add 3 LEDs on each corner of the fixture to increase the light on the sides of the tank. I can also raise the light a little to increase spread. Right now it is fine for what is in there. I haven't decided exactly what I will do with the light. One thing is fore sure I need timers for them!!!

When you coming to get some stuff?

We need to make arrangements I guess. I'm off tomorrow but not sure I can get down there, my next option is Friday or Saturday. Let me know what works for you.

Just read through this entire thread for the firsdt time, and, wow, talk about watching progress!
That lighting rig is impressive. For a guy that jumped right in from being a salty it sure looks like you've gotten a grasp on planmted tanks pretty quick.
Will be watching the rest of this for sure.

+1 StuG... I agree, this tank looks awesome so far!

Thanks for taking the time to read through. I have always loved the look of a heavily planted tank and I like a challenge.

The light rig was actually designed for a reef system so it is more blue than I would like for this tank but it will help bring out some amazing color in the fish I select. My little 10g planted tank has gone nuts and I'm hoping to do the same with this system.

Stay tuned, I like to document everything as I do it.

You're my gurl! hehe

Haha, lol!
So did you decide on any other fish besides Neons yet? Also how far into the cycle are you?
