Plants are mostly Echinodorus sp., a few Hygrophila corymbosa
and one Ludwigia repens.

Cheers,

WOW! That is a very nice tank! I wish my plants would grow like that! Good job!

Wow nice tank! :eek: And look at all those Denisoni barbs! :eek: :cool:

I have to say I was over at Johnny Reefer's place the other night and the pictures don't do it justice, even with the plants just floating in the water my first reaction was "WOW" that goes for his other tank also.

Thanx very much for all the kind words and positive feedback, everyone. It makes it more rewarding and worthwhile.

The tank is a 90g. 48"L x 24"H x 18"W.

The Discus are about 4" to 4 1/2".

Cheers,

Nice tank Mark. What are you running for equipment (a friend of mine just asked me) What filters and filter media do you use?
