I have slowly been adding live plants to my community tank. Currently have about 2 dozen plants in the tank (everything is real except that plant bed on the left... the plants coming out of it are real though) Never did a planted tank before... was inspired by a certain poster here and his awesome planted tanks.

Just have to wait for some of this stuff to grow in a little bit. Still planning on adding a few more plants to fill some of the open spots.

Your tank is absolutely STUNNING!!! Your fish are all gorgeous too, I especially love the discus!

My current stocking is a bit much for a 55 gallon long term though. The plan is to move the discus and angels to a 125 gallon after we move to the new house (and add a couple of more discus at that time).

Thanks for the compliment. I love that blue diamond too. :)

I say go for it. I am glad I finally did.

All of mine were purchased grown. Now... some have doubled in size in my tank (the ribbons were only 2" to 3" and now they are 7".

As the plants establish themselves (as we were discussing in our PM's Frank) this is going to be a lovely aquarium. The fish are beautiful. Nice work, very.

Very nice tank. I set my newest tank up(20 gallon) as a planted tank with alot of help from Byron and it is doing wonderfully. Everything is growing great and the few fish in there seem to be very happy. I love the way the real plants look and plan on turning all my tanks into planted ones eventually.
