Default 40gal stretch hex

just wanted to share my newest tank. wife got it for me for christmas because the corner where the 210 was looked empty roflmao. its an Oceanic 45gal stretch hex. has a cherry stand with smoked glass door. decided to plant it. has play sand as substrate, 2 pieces of petrified wood and a big piece of driftwood. the driftwood has some anubias attached to it and one of the petrified woods has java fern around it. few other plants are an onion plant, small amazon sword, mermaids weed, one bunch of micro sword, and 2 other plants but cant remember what they are...lol. as far as fish, there are 2 neon butterfly molly, 1 creamsicle molly, 5 tiger barb, 5 emperor tetra, 2 dwarf honey gourami, 2 red claw crabs, 1 dragon scale plakat, and 1 neon tetra(lone survivor of a 5/$5). the lighting is all wrong but its what i had at the moment, plan to change to led soon, but the plants seem to like it so far, getting pretty good growth already(2 weeks). tank is kinda cloudy cause i stirred the sand up a bit when i added the driftwood yesterday. heres some pics.

How fun! New tanks are always so neat to learn. So many factors to figure out. I love mollies though I have none. I also love the emperor tetras.
