Wishlist
The 4ft T8's will be replaced by T5's.
The Aqua One filter will be replaced by a Fluval 404 cannister (working on this one first off)
Definately more plants to be added
Seachem Excel addtion
More livestock: Some 'rarer' platys, 2 clown loaches, More neons, and the cories may be removed to another tank.

I can't get over how beautiful your Angels and your tank are!

Newest full tank shot, not real clear at present, cleaned the cannister filter (added new foam media), water change and moved quite a few plants around, so stirred it up a bit. But anyway, this will give you an idea of how its going

Hey, here's a question for you - what camera settings do you use to get such good, clear fishie photos?

Oh, and your tank looks gorgeous, thanks for sharing it with all of us!

[Alasse]

I have a Fuji FinePix and i use the Auto setting in Macro to get my fish pics

Some new fish pics for you all

[Casper]

Gorgeous as always!
Gosh, I am so jealous that you can keep a planted tank. I used to have one, but now I only have fish that think it is fun to uproot them all and gnaw them to pieces. :-(

[chocolatepuppy]

Beautiful! I'd never get anything done if I had that nice of a tank, I'd stare at it all day and watch the fish!

[Alasse]

Thank you both
