    Craig, that is one AWESOME planted tank. Care to share some of the specs on that badboy? Lighting, CO2? Filtration?
    Specs:
    Aqueon 150g Reef Ready with overflow cut out for hidden canisters plumbed through the bulkheads. Stock black pine stand.
    2- Eheim 2213 canisters modded with lattice screens like its bigger brothers the 2215 and 2217
    2- Hydor 200 watt Inline Heaters
    2- Inline PVC CO2 Reactors from Clear PVC
    Custom Built Smith CO2 Regulator with dual needle valves and bubble counters one for each side of the tank - built my buddy Orlando at Greenleafaquariums.com in Florida
    TurboTwist 3x 9 watt UV
    3- 70 watt JBJ Viper K-2 HQI setups paired with Philips Mastercolour 4200k 92 CRI bulbs
    White Oak from teh Appalachian Mountains for Driftwood - Completely siliconed in to the tank
    ADA Xingu Sand Substrate
    Emmersed plants are suspended by 26 planters from Devin of ripariumSupply.com
    The tank is going to change a fair bit over the next week as I move it to a full out Asian Biotope for my Betta Albimarginata (25) and Chocolate Gouramis (15). Currently 95% of my Emmersed growth planting is South American and I want a full biotope. Other inhabitants are Cherry Shrimp, Malaysian Trumpet Snails, Nerite Snails, Assassin Snails and the stray Pond Snail. Fish are feed a solely live food diet.

    Thanks for coming along today Craig. Glad you could make it.

    Gorgeous tank. I like that you have plants both in and out of the water. Maybe I missed them, but I didn't see anything "swiming" in that tank !
