My Fluval Ebi Tank - Do people even like these things anymore?

[swrdply400mrelay]

Been lurking for awhile, finally signed up for a membership. I've had aquariums on and off for the past 12 years. Few years ago I kept polypterus but had to get out of the hobby for awhile since I went back to grad school. Thought I'd get back into the hobby with a nano tank until I settle down and can afford a large tankful of polypterus again. This was an anniversary present from the wifey a few months ago.


Filter: Finnex PX360


Light: Finnex with GE 26w CFL (the Finnex bulb was rated at 26w but was half the brightness of the GE)


Plants:
Marsilea minuta
Anubias petite
Marimo balls
Taiwan moss on cholla wood


Life:
Rili's x 12ish
PFR x 12ish
Now non-intentionally RCS x 12ish

Where do you get yours? Fish Ranch used to carry them years ago, but when I went last week...well, it looks like they carry mainstream stuff and slimmed down their inventory.

I got most from Unlimited, they recently got in a bunch of the Dels/Endlis/ornate along with some of the albino senegals.

The big del sengegal and endli wilds I got from a member here.

rgonzales is selling a huge and very nice looking congicus.
