Do rasboras self-breed in a setup like that do you figure?

I have 10 that are spawning already, so I think that it is probably doable

Excellent choice on fish..What about some hatchets?? For the top area

Stunning tank....may I ask where you purchased the wood in the tank?

The thunderstorm effect is quite neat. How often does it happen and for how long?

It is really an amazing looking tank. Congratulations! It almost makes me want to dabble more in FW.

Doh! I knew I was forgetting something.. few too many beers before posting I guess.. Tank is lit with 4 x 96 watt CF bulbs and 4 x 65 watt CF bulbs. I am making some 150 watt HQI pendants to replace some of the CF bulbs, but for the time being this is working.

The thunderstorms happen twice a week, for an hour a day.

You can do a lot of fun stuff with Freshwater, but, much like a reef, it gets costly (lots of light, CO2 equipment etc)
