What is the big Crypt-like plant in the last few photos?

It´s indeed Cryptocoryne undulata. This plant last 5 years in this tank! In the begining was only 6 or 7 leafs as you can see on this picture taken in 2006. Plant is in the left front corner:KittyKat wrote:What is the big Crypt-like plant in the last few photos?

I don't think it's a C. undulata because the leaf shape and colour do not match the "wrinkles" I would expect. I recently got given a plant which looks identical to the one in your photos and the closest ID I had gotten was C. pontederiifolia

I really don´t understand much of plants. I was told it was C. undulata but now that you say it´s C. pontederiifolia I Googled it and looks like prety more similar to mine. Thanks!

The clowns look like they've settled in quite nicely.
It didn't sound like the sump made much noise with the waterfall. Is there something you did to quiet it down? I think I hear the pump more than anything.

I´m using a ballhead register on pump to cut down waterflow to about half. If I let it full open there is some noise (nothing absurd, but noisy). Cutting flow a little dimishes the noise. I have already noticed that nitrates goes down when in low flow and keeps constant in high flow mode. That´s main motivation to keep it operating in half flow.chefkeith wrote:The clowns look like they've settled in quite nicely.

Your fish look great, Marcos! I have to say I miss all the plants. What happened? Hungry loaches or just a rescape?

Hi Nancy,
Plants are there, but most of them (Giant Anubia) are on the left side of the tank and feed place is at the right side, so most of the photos were taken on the right side. If you take a time to watch the movie bellow, at 1:45, you will see lots of plants:
