So here is my first attempt at a real planted tank. This is what i setup quickly after I had to tear down my 42 hex due to the leak.

Details
20 L
2 GE 26 Watt Daylight (6500) bulbs
2 5-15 HOB filters
Sand and Shultz Aquasoil Substrate
DIY Yeast CO2

Plants:
Anacharis
Java Moss
Water Wisteria
Willow Leaf Hygro
And a small piece of hornwort

Driftwood from Mexico, same for the small rocks

Fish:
3 Guppies
6 Neon Tetras
Assorted Platies (mainly sunburst but a few others...anyone wanna trade for other colors?)

Pics:

Ill probably build myself a little hood this weeken if i find the time. I really like how it came out, lets hope it fills in quickly

I like the driftwood in there...

Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

Looks like a good start.

What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
