Here is my show tank!

I'm adding information about the tank as was requested! --> This is a 37 gallon bow front with black substrate, several pieces of driftwood, a custom-built flagstone cave, and dense artificial plants. The tank is kept crystal clear with 2 Penguin filters. A Marineland heater is kept around 75 degrees. In the left/center of the picture is a Paradise Fish and the colorful blurs are Platy. Not visible are 5 Julii Corydoras and 1 Red-Tailed Black Shark.

Thanks!
Zambize

The following is my 2.5 gallon freshwater planted "office" aquarium. It has been running for one year.



It sits on a custom stand made by yours truly and is lit with one 9 watt, 10K, PC bulb...



and currently houses one (hard to photograph) gardneri killie fish (and snails LOL)



I hope you like it!

Thanks for the entries so far. Please make sure the pics are uploaded here to our gallery instead of hosted elsewhere. The reason is because sometimes pics get removed from elsewhere, and that would be bad! If they are here they should stay, no reason to remove them from here as you get unlimited space in your gallery to store your aquarium pictures.

I can't believe you got a 2.5 gallon planted so well without overpowering the tank. I'm trying to plant a 10 gallon and it seems like every plant I look at will be too large.
