Thanks! It's a 40 breeder and I wasn't originally injecting Co2 but just a few days ago I added an Ista 45g disposable Co2 kit. It only runs 1-2 bps. I'm pretty proud of this tank. I rearranged the plants 4 or 5 times before I came up with this layout. I think it's going to look even better soon when the S.repens on the left and right sides of the foreground fill in properly. I planted them about a week ago. The ones in the center have been there from the start around 3 or 4 months. You can tell that they are much more dense. I'll try to get a less blurry picture soon

I keep thinking I should do a co2 tank and then I look at this thread.

So many truly inspiring tanks in this thread. I'm going to abandon my plans to make my 125 high tech!
