I've recorded a video of my 120g planted aquarium. It used to be a reef tank, that's been converted to a freshwater.

pressurized CO2, DIY reactor. 8 bulb tek light. XP3 filter. hydor powerhead for extra flow.

It's been pretty neat. The swords are starting to send out shooters

Aquarium plants are all new to me. Let me know what you think.

What is the substrate you are using? Was it your Reef or from another?

flourite substrate. was lots of learning all over again, because a planted tank is not exactly run like a reef tank.

for instance: ADDING nitrate to my tank was a completely alien concept to me
