Tank Update - Delaware Valley Aquatic Gardener's Association

The tank has reached it's adolescent stage. It's awkward but still beautiful. I replaced the 250 10,000k metal halides with 1250 watt double ended 8,000k ADA bulbs (extra green). I can take the sunscreen off now and hopefully the heat won't be as much of an issue.

The tank is looking great, maybe its just the photo but I would suggest adding a few crypts that gives off some color. Its great that the swords are now growing submersed leaves, give it a couple more months and i'm sure you'll be satisfied!

Thanks John. I was thinking the same thing. I'd like a little more color in there. I may see how a few stems of alternatheria work out on the left.

I guess you do could that, can you give a list of plants that you have in there; I don't think it was posted yet.

Sure. I'll put it together. I've been planning on putting together an article for the web site. Someday I may even get it done.

Wow your tank is beautiful!

Thanks Dusty. I can't take credit though. I planned the tank and the system but Jeff Senske did the actual scape.

Feel free to come check it out anytime. It's nice to have people who actually appreciate planted tanks see it. The last person who looked at it asked me if it was freshwater or saltwater.
