Additional
Information: This tank started out as a test tank. The test was to try different set up to get depth in a narrow tank. The learning experience was used to set up a 55gal. I all so use this tank to grow plants up to a larger size for trance planting and trading at LFS. So when you see that some plants like the Water Sprit (Ceratopteris thalictroides) it gets replace with another smaller plant on a regular routine. The Mellon Sword
(Echinodorus barthii) will out grow this tank also, but I haven't the heart to move it right now. It is coming back from a total meltdown. I hope to have it big enough to place in my new 75gal in a few months. Every thing came together from the start.The only big change made in this tank was replacing the driftwood to a smaller less intrusive piece.
