its a good start, theres a few things i must add: 1. Upgrade the lighting, i noticed that one of the Anacharis in front bottom part of the stem has turned yellow. :/ Also, i would take out the airstone that you have for the sake of the plants.

I aggree. Take the airstone out. Doesnt Banana Plants need high lighting?

[weaselnoze]

i've had the banana plant for a few months now. they grow slowly but surely.

[James From Cali]

Well either way the tank looks great. Keep posting pics(you can ultimately inspire something new for my tank!).

cool tank, good luck w/banana plants, mine melted and got eaten by 2 small clown plecos.

[weaselnoze]

thanks. i've had 2 of them for a few months now and they do great! about 1x a week i get a new leaf. about then the oldest leaf is half dead so i pinch it off. ew i just said pinch it off...

Not a good idea. He doesn't have any CO2. So, the airstone is keeping small levels of dissolved CO2 in his water at all times. Leave it in for now.

[dufus]

huh, really?
i would think it would take the co2 the fish put out out of the water. of course i never really looked into that.

i hear ya on both sides however the egeria densa n the nymphodies aquatica dont require any special treatment
