Thanks all for the compliments. And yes my tank is very low tech i had co2 at one point but my plants grew TOO big. My amazons were growing out of the top of my last tank. Its been 6 months or so with no co2 and all the plants are doing great. Ive got some java fern, Cabomba carolina and of course amazon swords. All of wich i dont give any ferts just natural ferts(fishpoo). Ill post some more pics as time goes on. Ive got another batch of discus brewing right now some reds and a white diamond thanks again all.

looks really nice. what type of lighting do you have? like i said, i want to do something like your setup but just thinking of the cleaning and such kind of deters me from it to be quite honest. i have a 125 BB as of now with just driftwood and some wisteria that grows no matter what (65w 10k bulbs in my 125)

Ive got standard fluro's i forgot the bulb type. Cleaning is kind of a headache, The tank stands taller than me!. I have to stand on one of our dinind room chairs in order to siphon all the mulm. I do 3-4 50 gallon wc's a week on the big tank. I designed my tank kinda spread out so that i'd be able to get into the tough to reach spots. Thanks again for the kind words.
