Most of the plants are due tomorrow. I can't wait either.
OMG, bubbles or no bubbles, this is one sweet setup, congrats. Do let us know when you've planted it so we can check it out.

The plants are doing great! Most were smaller than I thought they would be, so tank still a little bare. Got them in on Sat. & there are already new leafs on some & growth on them all. I will take new pix this weekend.
In doing web surfing & research I came across a spotted bulldog Discus I couldn't live without. It was at Sunrise Tropicals. I checked out the vender reviews & seemed to be well thought of. So I got him. Hate to pay for shipping for one fish & he had a lot beauties, so I will be receiving four from him next week.
It may be a bit early for Discus but the tank has been so stable & small fish are doing so well I just couldn't pass them up. Pix of them when they get here & settled in.
OK new pix this weekend.

Boring? I just subscribed to your thread. This is one awesome setup.. I really like the scape...
OK have some new pix with plants.
FTS front
FTS back side.
The plant on top left was a bulb with no leafs 6 days ago! Kinda scary.
Closeup of front right side. The plants with crinkled leafs will get very long & hopefully go across the surface & help shade the middle of the tank.
Still missing a few plants. I saved a space on the back side for a anubias that gets good size & there will be some plants growing on the driftwood & couple other smaller plants. One thing you can't see yet is, there are three dwarf water lilies bulbs in the area that comes to a point under the driftwood. My plan is to let them grow to the surface & shade the center part of the tank.
Looks a lot better but still bare compared to what it will look like after growing out. Also the color in these photos look a little dull compared to what they looked like before uploading to photobucket. I added a bunch of saturation but still not right.
More when the Discus get here!
Jim
very nice tank. with fish and more time for the plants you are going to have a amazing set up.
I have seen some threads with photos you can click on & they will get quite large. My photos are much larger & look much better before photobucket. So does anyone know how people are uploading images that show up good size but can be enlarged even more when clicked on?
Thanks
Jim
from who do you plan to get the fish from?
I have four coming from Sunrise Tropicals in Cal. He had one I couldn't pass-up & several more that were very nice, so I ended up getting four. After a month or two I plan to get two or three from Hans & a Golden Leopard When I can find a good one. That will be it for Discus for me.
love that substrate! color and grain size. perfect!
