Hi tad,
Thanks for the comment :)
The lighting fixture is a Coralife Freshwater Aqualight 4-65watt lamps @ 6700k. I love Coralife fixtures, they are built very well and IMO are top of the line when it comes to a complete lighting fixture. I originally had a Coralife with 2-65watt lamps but needed to upgrade when I decided to go with plants that require a bit more lighting.

Looking good. Your algae problem isn't that bad. Keep the CO2 high and you will be fine.

Aloha Pete, I really like your planted tank. Can you tell us what kind of substrate you are using. I want to turn 2 of my tanks over to the planted side. First the 72g bowfront with my Altum angels and a 125g for discus, rams, rummynose tetras and a few bottom dwellers.

Mahalo for Sharing your pics and inspiring me to go with it.

Aloha,
Its Eco-Complete substrate by caribsea or redsea one of those :)
