I have had this grow out planted aquarium up for about 2 1/2 months now and I have been growing all sorts of different rare and beautiful plants. This tank is not particularly a scaped tank, but I did however, arrange the plants in a way that it will look decent enough to show you.

This picture was taken a a few weeks ago and since then, I have trimmed a lot and re-arrange a few plants.



New pictures hopefully in the next couple of days.

Beautiful plants!

Agreed. I often thought of doing a "grow out tank" but never gotten around to it.

Thanks

Texgal - Thanks!

Dantra - Thank you! Grow outs are nice, and I've honestly been having grow out planted aquariums ever since I started the hobby. I am working on a 20g long low maintenance scape right now so hopefully I will be able to manage that. Eventually, maybe soon, I will start to focus on scaping my aquariums, but I have yet to decide what plants I want to keep and discard.

Eilliot - You're dead on! I have a 9325k and 8,000k bulb over this aquarium. Its a pretty nice light combo, but eventually I would like to upgrade to a 4x24w T5HO fixture.

I actually made a couple changes and removed some plants. I am trying to get a foreground of Crypt parva going, wouldn't that be sweet?

As far as the list of plants, I am working on that and will post it shortly.
