OK, I finally got around to planting some stuff in the tank, I ran out of Glossostigma so I need to find some more. Right now I have the high output lighting and I am dosing two seachem products, one is a complete formula for planted tanks and the other is an organic carbon substitute. when it runs out I will start injecting CO2.

Whole tank


Right side



left side



and the center



so we'll see how it fills in.

well a couple new additions and hardware. I took off the HOT magnum 250 and replaced it with a fuvel 404, after I went and bought the casing upgrade. I have this discharging through 2 feet worth of spray bar.



and I think my glosso is growing, I am only using a organic carbon source right now untill I figure out which way I want to inject it.

Looks good Steve, I like the wood in the tank, I remember when I had my 280 gal FW, I couldn't keep the wood down.I ended up using a piece of rock and drilled into the wood

Have you been using Co2 before you did the rebuild? Cause those plants look great!

nope, but they were all lower light plants. I just used a ton of fertalizer.
