Got around to taking some updated pics of the tank, finally. I'll even throw in an updated Kuhli Tank pic for free, lol.

The Hygro's in the back corner just got trimmed.

Don't think my posters on the level anymore, lol.

As you can see by all the scratches on the 55's stand, I have a cat who really loves watching the fish. If I don't put a stool in front of the tank for her to sit on, she hangs off the edge of the stand with her nails. Some day I might paint those scratches in, but I think she'll just make more.

Beautiful tanks Casey! Are you growing those plants with stock t-12 bulbs?

I spend too much time on Facebook. I was looking around for a "Like" button! Great looking tanks! How do you keep all the plants algae-free?

Very nice!! Your tanks are lovely.

I have that same willow leaf hygro in my tanks, and your pics inspired me to give mine a good trim. Actually, mine looked like a tangled mess, so I pulled it up, trimmed it and replanted. It looks better now.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone.
plaalye - Yeah there just the stock bulbs, 17 watt each.
palaeodave - I do get some algae. Mostly where the sun shines in for an hour or so in the afternoon. I just wipe it off the back of the tank. If you look closely you'll see it on the anubias, that's the only plant I have trouble with, the sun hits it.
