looks great!
Love the landscape and the large rocks.

If you're looking to add more plants, I've gotten some good stuff from aquaticplantdepot.com their prices are resonable and the plants are in much better condition than those at my lfs. plus they don't kill you with the shipping. They ship from the opposite coast (Fla. to Ca.) and I've always gotten everything in good condition.

very nice.
does it stress the fish when u use bright lights like that and how long do you leave ur lights on?

how much does it cost for those lights? where did u get them also?

sorry for so many questions, just curious because i have one flourescent blue light. i want white bright lights. maybe home depot? just need to build something to turn the lights on and hold them any suggestions???
