"Tranquility" Mark's 90 gal Corner Bow
2
Hello to everyone here at APC. I have visited this site quite often but have been more active on TPT. I thought it was time to display my tank here and get more ideas and suggestions from the hobbiest here at APC. Thank you in advance for viewing.
This tank is a 90gal Corner Bowfront. The tank was a very low light, low tech tank last year and over the New Years Hoilday I combined my 55gal and this tank into one. This is what it looked like at the beginning of the year

Over last weekend, I tore out all my plants, re-did the background, cleaned all filter tubes, raised the lights higher above the tank and then re-scaped the tank.

A small update...Did a trim and some cleaning over the weekend to get ready for some Dipilis Diandra and Ludwigia Arcuata that will be coming this week. I pulled out my Blyxa A. that was in the back and cleaned it up good and pulled the bad leaves off. Those things get so much stuff in them. I also rearrange some of the DW, but I still need to trim my Limnophilia SP in the back right and waiting for my L. Cuba to grow out. I had a small mishap with the CO2 last week that left 1 dead which was unfortunatly one of my rainbows but everyone else pulled thru. Here are some pics to enjoy...

Looking good! Sorry to hear about the loss of the rainbow and thanks for taking a close-up shot of one of them, it really is stunning. Where on earth are you going to put more plants?! 
I actually made some space over the weekend for these plants. I put together a pic of what I am thinking.Looking good! Sorry to hear about the loss of the rainbow and thanks for taking a close-up shot of one of them, it really is stunning. Where on earth are you going to put more plants?!

Re: "Tranquility" Mark's 90 gal Corner Bow (Updated Pics 12-22-09)
It has been awhile since I updated my journal here on APC. Things have been going pretty well. I had a 2 week period starting Nov 20 that I neglected my tank becasue of remodeling my bathroom (when you only have one bathroom, you do everything you can to get it back up and running). I didn't have time to dose, trim, do water changes nothing except feed the fish (which I neglected to do on some days) When I got the bathroom functional again, I spent about 3 days trimming, cleaning and getting the tank back into shape. So here are some pics to enjoy....

The plants have grown so fast due the the Ferka Root tabs I bought from Orlando at GLA. Those tabs are amazing and the plants respond so well to them. My plants are so healthy since I have been using them and would recommend them to anyone!

Thank you so much!
Pics do not do it justice and is much better seen in person. I posted a video of it several post back on YouTube which is better but still not as good.
Thx again for the kind words!
