Thanx!

It's supported by the frame on an iron stand. It's fine and made to be this way. The prior tank I purchsed (w/ the stand et al) at a yard sale and used it for ~11 yrs before it sprung a leak on a vertical seam...instead of trying to fix it...I just went out and bought this tank....that was ~5 years ago now.

thats so awesome

Agreed, fishman.

I've grown to really like the novelty of it myself. My first instinct was to remove it and get it planted in the substrate, but I realized soon enough that that was a futile effort. It actually roots down into the foam. If I remove the foam from the housing, UG roots are grown into the middle area where the water passes through...

Received some more "Wonder Gro" tabs as stated before. Placed a lot (probably ~40-50) 1/4's in yesterday and took some pix of the areas that still need to grow in. Expecting to take some more pix and do a comparison.

wow, really nice tank! When your ready to trim the tank, my 20 is looking for a foreground more interesting than hc. I think the ug could make it up here from TN.

I love all that Ug on the pre-filter sponge. did you put some there to grow, or did it just get stuck to it one day and you just let it do it's thing?
