Great looking tank.


Do I detect a hint of actinic lighting?

I like the lighting and plant selection. All I know to identify is anacharis and jungle val. Two more plants than I could identify a month ago! Swords as well, but I have NO idea what kind.

I see Jungle val, Anacharis, and Cabomba.

I have all three of those in my platnted tank too. Great plant that anacharis.

Its all South American vegitation. I bought a boxed deal from Arizona Aquatic garden. Yeah, the light is actinic blue I don't know how much I like it but it came with the fixture and after spending $100 on that I was okay with the bulb. When it burns out I'll probably get a regular one. This is the list of plants I got all for a grand total of $45.
* 8 Corkscrew Val
* 6 Jungle Val
* 3 medium Amazon Sword
* 1 medium Red Rubin Sword
* 2 Anacharis
* 3 Cabomba
* 3 Narrow-leaf Ludwigia
* 5 potted tennellus Chain Swords
* Fertilizer
I thought it was quite a deal.

I really like that place for plants. They have habitat packages you can buy based on region of the world, then the size of the package is based on the size of your tank.

I think that once I can get a hold of my wifes camera, I'll have to submit pics for TOTM. I'm not sure I stand a chance against that other new planted tank that just got posted but hopefully I can give him a run for his money.
