Well I don't think you can find such a brand over in the states.

So that you know.. It is Ocean Free. I DIY-ed it to hold 2x36w PL-L lights.

The lights are ADA PC NA-LAMP

I don't know how I missed your tank before, it looks great. The rocks and wood are arranged well and the plantings accent them well. The red stems seem a bit thin but I know the tank is still filling in.

Have you considered small rainbowfish? Like threadfins or Pseudomugil gertrudae. They are small enough to fit the tank and are quite showy when you have a few males and several females so the males display for each other and the females.

Thanks for your kind comments =)

Your tank looks great! I to think threadfin rainbows would look nice. I also think that any kind of small red tetra or barb would also look good.

the wood in your tank creates great drama for the scape be carefull not distract to much from it. Other than that I really can't wait to see it once that eleocharis foreground fills in, I think its really going to accent the mossy wood.
