The rocks on top of the stumps are obviously temporary, that wood floated for about a month now. The floating jar is also going to be removed.

Things I'm going to add in order of importance:

CO2 system as soon as it gets in, and the 2 other T5s.
(FYI for the thousand plus dollars I've spent, I actually won a 48" T5HO fixture at fish gallery the other week!)

I'm thinking about neon tetras or endlers livebearers and two more ancistris, but this time termineckii as that is all that is available near me. 5 more panda corys. More of the black sand on top to hold down the Aquasoil amazonia and to allow the rams to filter feed from the substrate. Livestock thoughts?

Install timer on night time lighting for under cave light and later add-ons.

Buy moonlights.

I need to get a good pic of that caucanus to verify that is the correct name and because nobody really gets those. I had a female but she died all too quickly of fin rot, mine is a male. They are obviously wild-caught. I would still like to get a female for him, and move him to my new tank at work if he would ever leave the cave.

Any comments on how I might improve are welcome. Obviously the arrangement is going to change as things grow out. The cabomba on the left is purple cabomba, which will turn that color as soon as my lights and co2 are adequate (fingers crossed).
