My tank is a 6 * 2 * 2.5. I have CO2 running which is injected through a Magnum 450 canister filter as the reactor. I also running a big Otto filter at the other end.

Plants are Amazon swords both standard and thin leaf variety. As well as some large radican swords. The amazons are continually sending runners with new plants on them.

Tank parameters are 6.5 PH 30 degrees water is soft from tap and left untreated by myself.

Fish are 4 Red Snakeskins, 2 leopard snakeskins. 2 hekels, and 2 others I bought from Oxheart that I have no idea what he called them but they are nice. 4 Bristlenose Cats who actively breed in the tank. and two harlequins ( I wish the discus would eat them ).

Running 2 * 3 ft CoralLife tubes and two standard 4 ft gro-lux tubes. I am working on getting more light into the equation but the growth rate of things seems fine and tolerable at the moment.

AWESUM!!!

I love the plant layout, and the centrepiece chunk of wood... makes me drool... maybe I might have to take some notes and re-position my massive chunk of swamp wood in my 6ft'r and plant something interesting on it...

thanks for sharing the pic and specs... and welcome to DF.com...
