Finally got new carpets put in the apartment and broke down the 75FW Planted and moved everything into a 120. Figured Id share a pic... I'll post more once I get the sumps plumbed together and get it working the way I want it. Its cleared up quite a bit already, but still a little cloudy. Anyway... enjoy:

...oh yeah and I upgraded the lights. 2x 150w HQI and 2x96w PCs (only halides on in this pic)
I still have to finish the plumbing and build a canopy.

Wow, look great, Tony! Makes me miss my FW planted days... Are you going to be dosing CO2? I may have an old CO2 reactor 1000 laying around for you--I'll have to do some digging... Some anubias nana would look great growing around the driftwood. The substrate looks great, too.

Nice looking tank Tony. I've never had a planted tank, but they do look interesting.

I am planning on doing CO2... let me know what you find! :)
It's so weird seeing my tank now... it looks naked!

cute tetras :tongue2: You need to get some proper grow lights in those halides son, those plants are confused with those blue spectrum bulbs.
