I really like your tank!

what is that plant in the foreground? There are a few shots of it in post #40, if you don't know which one I mean.

Thanks so much! I really enjoy my planted tank. I've learned a ton with this 40 gallon breeder setup and am currently building the stand for my next project... a 75G. I'm still indecisive on pretty much all aspects of the scape/livestock/etc., but plan to set it up sometime in June/July. I will of course have a new thread for it once it's up and running!

The plant in the foreground in post #40 is Staurogyne repens by the way.

Nice shots man! Plants look super healthy. I also see a C. hudoroi(?) there

. One of my fav crypts!

Thanks! I am having so much fun w/ this tank and have learned a ton experimenting with it. I hate to tear it down, but that time is very near! Bigger and better things are on the horizon as I have my 75G stand and lighting all set up. Just need to figure out the layout and find some time (hard to do with a 5 and 3 year old) to get it all set up and running.

Also need to make a decision on whether I want to go w/ a dirt tank or just use some form of root tabs since it will definitely have a plethora of crypts that require lots of feeding at the roots. Decisions! Decisions!
