I love it, Summer! I'm very impressed! I especially like that you took the time to arrange it with a variety of leaf shapes and sizes. It really draws the eye around the tank!

Summer, that old tank is really amazing! Looks like a lot of hard work went into it. Makes me want to check out yard sales this spring. Yeah, I'm with hanky...if your aunt decides to have any more "basement cleanouts" let me know!

Been a little while since I updated. A bit over a month ago I had a crappy situation, I co2 gassed my fish. I ended up losing a few neon initially, then as the days went on I lost 5 of my koi angels :( So now I have 2 koi angels and thanks to the good luck and generosity of bev, 3 black marble angels. After the incident i was hesitant on the co2 and the tank got a lot of BBA, and i lost my stellatus and some other plants so i'm now finally at the point that the tank is looking good again. Cant be too bad, you all voted it as TOTM this past month (THANKS!) SO here are some recent pics!

Love the pictures! Thanks for updating this. That new T5HO light looks great, and puts your old lights to shame! It makes me want to upgrade my lights that much more!

Sorry to hear about the CO2 :( I lost an angel and almost lost my catfish when I did a DIY CO2 on my large tank.
