Default My 28g Planted Asian Tank now a 75g

So, I decided to keep my Bowfront and do a planted tank with it. Then I upgraded and put everything in my 75g.

Here is my stock list:

LIVESTOCK:
2 Pearl Gourami (Top Swimmers)
8 Harlequin Rasbora (Middle Swimmers)
10 Glowlight Tetra (Middle Swimmers)
1 Pakistani Loach (Bottom Swimmers)
3 Freshwater Shrimp (Bottom Dwellers)

PLANTS:
Front Row - Hydrocotyle Sibthorpioides
Middle Row - Cryptocoryne Beckettii
Back Row - Limnophila Sessiliflora and Driftwood

Pics To Follow.

So I transferred everything to my 75g tank and added a few more pieces of driftwood. Changed the gravel, and put on a nice sump system.

Pics to follow.

Very nice tank. What is your equipment specs? Are you planning for Co2?

Basically, 2 X 24 inch 6700K Coralife Freshwater Lights, TOMS PS3 Overflow Skimmer Sump with ATO, 1 In Sump Heater (50w), 1 Heater in tank (300w), and 1 Koralia Nano on the opposite side of the tank from the overflow to give a bit of cross current.

As for a CO2 system, I'm looking but not sure what I want to get yet. I think a Tank system is a bit overkill for what I am doing, so I will probably go with a Canister Style model a bit later when I can afford to get it.

Looking good, I like the look of the drift wood in there.

Me too, actually. Looks way nicer than the fake stuff I was using in previous tanks. and the 1 piece I had in this setup before the transfer.
