Willow,

I have a great source for f/w plants. We'll have to go one of these days (preferably a Monday or Friday) if you're interested in saving $$.

An assortment from my 77 (rather old..):

Here was my moonlighting while it was up. It was a crude DIY job that I put up to test it out and it ended up staying for quite a few months until I saw some corrosion and pulled it down to build a "proper" one. Shortly thereafter I decided I needed a reef tank. Needless to say it's still on hold.

The only full tank show I was ever able to get with my camera. WTB new digital camera.

And one of my gf's 55:

Why not go with a blue. It will realy offset the fish and plants in your tank. Or a black. Both of these will realy bring out the colours of your fish and plants.

Because the bulbs were 2 for $10. Maybe one day.
