Joe as I explained in chat that is one fantastic tank.
Can you include all the measurements please, that is what certainly impressed me.

Bernard what do you think of this for a small tank and basically a beginner to aquacaping?

Sure. I've got a long way to go as I'm still dealing with algae

Main tank dims are ~24x6.5x12.5 (wxdxh)
started 11/04 (first tank since killing tutles as a little kid)
8g tank (3.25wpg and recently added 23w spiral CFL for 4 hours/day) + 10g reverse photoperiod sump (<2wpg)
140-300gph one-way current through main
~15ppm NO3 from KNO3
1-2ppm PO4 from tap and pinch of KH2PO4 2x a week
~20ppm K from above + K2SO4
CSM+B with extra Fe to .2ppm (I assume good Mg from high GH)
kH 5.5-6.0, pH 6.6 for CO2 +40ppm (2*2L yeast)

Thanks. The glosso was actually planted in Feb throughout the foreground, and due to inefficent light (likely due to restrike from 2*23W spiral cfl over 8g) had to trim and replant as it grew vertically. I also have kuhliis which like to uproot it, so its a contest of stubbornness. I think I won, though You can see glosso progress in the archive pics at the bottom of my page, if you want. I spread it out and rearranged some things last week and will post new update sometime this week.

Just want to ask what type of lotus/lily do you have next to the driftwood? Looks very nice.

Also...i wanna ask if its ok for me to put your tank pic on my website? (http://MangoPlants.com)

Thanks mangor34 I bought those plants as "Red Dwarf Lilies," and think they're Nymphaea stellata -- is it the same as the lotus you have under Plant Intro? You certainly have permission to use pics! I'm all excited. I've bookmarked your site -- nice layout and speed. And great tanks!

Dunno if you're interested, but I'll have new pics up in a day or so. I'm expecting Stargrass and Hygro corymbosa "compact" and plan on taking before (current rearrangement) and after pics, in hopes people can help me learn to aquascape and maybe create illusion of more depth with some Dutch-ness on the right side. (I've no idea what I'm doing as I have little artistic understanding or talent. )
