Minor update, moving things around in the fish room in preparation for spring tank setup, hoping to get the 75 and 110 into the fish room this month.
Really needing to sort through my plants as they have sort of grown into a tangled mass as opposed to being individuals. Currently have enough plants for about three times the tank I have.

Hey yo Michigan, where's the activity people? Lets see some new tanks, spring has sprung where is the proof?
Anyone and everyone here let's get a new pic of your main or favorite tank and post it up, in lieu of tanks for those currently in between, your favorite pic of a fish or invertebrate or your favorite plant.

My micro tank. Neons, a white cloud, Boraras Uropthalmoides, Boraras Brigittae. Still working on plants. some anubias (normal and petite), Hygro Kompakt, 1 tiny amazon sword, Cryptocoryne undulata(?), parva, and spiralis. Anyone have ideas for some background plants for the right side?

Doogy262 nice coloration on those discus, and I am sure they will color up even more once they started flirting with eachother in your tank.
Evantoor, I strongly recommend a rotala type, or a bacopa stem for the background, nice variety, lots of options to be mixed and matched or a singular wall works well too.
My personal favorite thus far is Nanjenshan, which looks quite nice even in my jumbled jungle at times.

I agree with the Nanjenshan it has small leafs that make it look compact.A good grass type plant is dwarf sag. which grows to about 10 inchs so may have to be replaced with smaller ones occasionally and blyxa which is a very nice bushy plant. your tank looks great.

Thanks for the recommendation. Rotala are quite prolific growers in my aquariums, but for my 20L I don't believe blyxa will get enough light. I only have a T5 fixture, about 1.8 wpg.

Haven't posted in here in awhile... Still have my 55 gallon setup up and going. I'm debating about tearing it down and changing out the gravel because Flourite is just horribly messy. I'm considering either one or two different kinds of sand. I'm also so tempted to buy another tank, either a 65 gallon, 40 long or the Marineland 53 gallon that a few select Petsmarts' sell which has the dimensions of 36x18x21. Pretty nice if you ask me.
I also recently got a new job working in Nutritional Services at Beaumont which I'm very excited for. A great way to get my foot in the door there. I've worked in retail at the same place for 9 years now and I've had it, so I had put my 2 weeks in recently. I'm quite ecstatic.

Glad to see a bit of activity going on here.
Blackheart kudos and good luck with the new Job. Have you though about doing a larger scale walstad tank?
Getting closer and closer to setting up my 110.
My fish room is currently hosting all of my gardens seedlings.

From the Muskegon area. Bluefish is definitely the place to go. I like Preuss but they seem a little high on prices. Have a lot of awesome plecos. I have three planted tanks, a 60g 15g and a 12cube that I just started up this week planning on a shrimp tank.

That's fine I just didn't want your great plants go to waste, thanks again. Also, when you get a chance can you send me a list of all the plants you gave me thanks.
Doogy262 been following your Discus thread. Didn't realize you were a Michigander. Tank looks great and looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Yes, April in Michigan....snowing Saturday, could be cutting the grass next week!
