The job I have now has a lot of down time. I spend a lot of that time reading the different fish forums. There is a lot to see and learn. I think my favorite set up is Medicineman's indoor sunken garden. I would love to have something like that someday. But for now it is a lot smaller and a lot less pretty.
One of the best things that has happened for my planted tanks so far was a regional plant swap meet that happened here in Portland in September. There were about 15 of us there and more plants to give away than anyone could take. I walked away with a lot of plants that I have now growing in the two aquariums. Since then we have done one more swap meet and I added even more plants to my tanks. I might not ever buy plants again. Just go to the swap meets and I should be able to trade for anything I could possibly use in my new tank.
Which brings me to the real reason for this whole rant. My new tank.
