My 55 Gallon Planted Journal

I changed the tank up a few days ago. Removed several of the larger rocks and added some wood that had been in another 55g. Also added some new fish. Picked up another Coralife fixture (currently setting on the empty 55g) and as soon as I buy four more lamps I'll be putting it on this tank (two of the lamps are actinic, btw). Will be adding new plants eventually.
Bought 8 or 9 black phantom's a few weeks ago:
Added three cories two days ago:

Thanks, Brian!
Emmanuel, I picked up some nice pieces of wood at Fish R Us this summer while I was passing through Conroe. I need to make another trip down there for some more. As for the weed of the duck that came in on some salvinia that I received from a trade on plantedtank.net. It's good for reducing nitrates and a place for my fry to hide but it's such a PITA that it's hardly worth it.
Newman, the pearl gouramis are very peaceful (which is why I stick normally stick with them rather than golds, etc). I need to restock on the pearls, though. Found a place that has them super cheap, just need to make the trip to pick them up. The black and silver angel has been in the tank for a long time; the second was put in recently to make room for the oscar that was given to me. The two bettas get along with no problems. I believe they are father and son (or two males from the same batch of fry that hatched nearly a year ago).

It's hard to see, but in the second to last picture you can see the other betta in the bottom left-hand corner. Actually, it looks fine on my pc at home but difficult to see on the pc here at the office.
I have another in a 2.5g, and one that I just added to the 10g (after almost becoming an oscar snack).
After checking an old post I see where I was wrong about the age of the bettas. They will be two years old on 2/6/10. You can check that thread out here:
