Wonderful tank! I'd like to try something like that. I love real plants, but usually have problems with algae taking over. Should I get a plecostomus or use algae destroyer? My single oto needs help!

Can you tell me exactly what you have for a CO2 setup? Paintball tanks attached to what?

I am just setting up a 75 gallon with sand bottom. Should I be using a layer of flourite or Flora Max under that? So far I have just used the plant tabs pushed into the sand with some success.

I live out of town and our well water is pretty hard. I've read that I shouldn't use water from the softener, so I'll use the straight well water. Can I soften the water with some peat and real driftwood?

Once this tank is ready, I'll be moving the fish from the 45 gal. 1 Oto, 1 marble angel, 4 buenos aires tetras, 8 tiger barbs, 5 marble mollies, 2 pictus cats, 2 peppered corys, 1 peacock eel,
