i also think you should get a bigger tank for the cichlids. Unless you dont have any breeding pairs, they're going to get aggressive. They'll also uproot your plants when they dig holes to lay eggs.

reflectors would be nice in your hood. reflective mylar also works.

money is to tight for a bigger tank the aggression is very very minimal there is a breeding pair in the tank and they stay to the right side in the little rock setup i have over there i added the reflector over the weekend using flashing that is commonly used for siding houses and it seems to be working very well within a half hour after adding it i noticed the plants began to pearl and pearl all day long

Wow, that sword got big in a hurry. What happened to the stem plants in the back toward the right? I liked how they filled in that area.

I have to admit, I like the skull. It would look cool with some Flame moss coming out the eye sockets (maybe tie some to a couple large pebbles or small chips of driftwood that would fit into the sockets) .

I would totally hook you up with Flame Moss, but you'd be on your own to find something to tie it to.

Dave i live in the in the sticks i got streams and a rock query around the corner from me I'm sure i could find something in a heart beat. The idea of flame moss coming out of the eyes sounds real good. I picked up a bunch of hygro sunset tonight off of jimbo205. I am gonna use it to replace the sword when i move it to the fifty five.
