    That is a good looking start, it will be fun watching it grow in.

    What is your lighting and fertilization routine?

    Very nice planted set up! I thought to do this with a 55g tank I have in my garage.

    Geez... 2in10 is there anything you don't know about aquariums? LOL

    2 in 10, are you talking about the plants in the back left? if you are, they are called green and white acorus. i got it from pet smart. but i do not think it is a true aquatic plant, so ill see what happens
