This site is Awesome for plant info http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/myplants/ i dont think i have seen a plant thats not listed in there.
The background is just sandstone siliconed to the back of the tank. I did that to all of my freshwater tanks, some I made out of concrete but by far the easiest and best looking is to just go to a landscaping place and pick out some nice thin slate then silicone it. For a small tank you might pay $5 or $10. Just be sure they cant get trapped in behind the rock.

well i was volunteering yesterday at elite aquatics and we had alot of new plants.
like ALOT! so im buffing tanks, and Colby handed me a bag and told me to grab whatever plants i want, and he'll hook me up with some new very high output bulbs from hagen! well it was like being in a candy store. there was so much to chose from! i ended up getting two of these thin,silky leaved (but still quite leafy) light green plants that i dont know the name of, 2 of what looks to be some sort of red rotala sp. and 3 what look to be anubias (i think its anubias nana) i didnt have my camera, but i promise i'll take pics ASAP right now it looks a little noobish and undergrown, but once everything grows out and i maybe add something more, it'll look nice  P.S. thnx Colby! YOU ROCK! Last edited by karazy; 02-08-2009 at 11:38 PM.

I look forward to seeing this tank develop. I have a 10 gal that will be empty in May and I plan on doing planted tank.

well, the puffers have landed
 me being dumb though i forgot my camera. DOH! and i only got to see them explore their new home for 5 mins, cuz i had to go to my moms house, and i wont see them for a whole week  but all the plants are doing good, the puffers are already attacking the snails, and im almost sure i got 1 male to females, cuz i got 1 that's quite round, one that is also round(but not as round) and one that had big wrinkles behind his eyes (and is quite feisty) pics as soon as i can
