okay, this tank used to house huge catfish... until they got too huge... so I redid it as I had been wanting to for a long time. I got $9 worth of plain gravel at home depot and 4 daylight compact florescent screw- in bulbs, three of which are 14 watt and the other is 17 watts. Light fixture is home- made out of poplar, I am planning on upping the wattage later.
Flora:
-Water sprite
-Crypt. Wendtii Red
-Crypt. Wendtii Green
-Tiger Lotus Red
-Java Fern
-Giant Hairgass
-Broad- leaf sag.
-Dwarf lily red

Fauna:
-9 neon tetras
-5 glass cats
-5 ember tetras (or fire tetras?)
-3 rummy nose tetras
-2 angels
-2 debauwi cats
-1 bristle nose pleco
-1 sparkling gourami
-1 banjo cat (may move if finally starts to grow, I have had him for 3 years now, still small)
-1 golden white cloud
-1 emerald eye tetra
-1 cory (i forgot what kind)

oh, i left out the rummy nose tetras and the sparkling gourami, he is one of my favorite fish. what should i add for a foreground, i dont want java moss because it gets everywhere and i dont have fertile substrate, just plain gravel (was done on a budget)

dang, just realized, they are fire rasboras, not ember tetras...

Nice work. It should look real nice when it all grows in. One thing though, it looks like you are using flagstone for your rocks. I used these in one of my tanks, but had to take it out. I drives the KH through the roof. Just keep an eye on it. It took ~4-5 months before it started to have an effect on the tank.

i have had it in my tanks for upwards of three years, i will keep an eye on it though
