I hope this link works ok as this is my first photo post.
OK I finally got the courage to post my 75 gal planted tank and have prepared myself for your comments or suggestions.
75 gallon
Medium tech I guess. I have a penguin 30 HOB filter. A CO2 bottle system at 1 bubble every 2 seconds during day. An Eite Mini powerhead to distribute CO2. Two 48 inch shop lights I got from Home Depot with regular daylight bulbs, so I have mostly low light plants. Pool filter sand and totally overrun with MTS. Water changes about 1 time a month of 50% or less. I am trying to keep the tank as "El Natural" as possible and minimize maintenance.
Sorry about some photos and the flash blinding you, but photos were taken by a Kodak Easyshare and I am still trying to learn how to work it.
Plants:
1 completely outta control Aponogeton boivninanus. (Currently blooming)
3 Madagascar Lace plants (One is currently blooming)
1 small Amazon Sword
Several strands of Cabomba Green
Several bunches of Wendtii, Red
A couple of Wendtii, Bronze (maybe)
A couple of Red Flame Melon swords that are struggling
A little Hornwort floating around
A good sized Barteri Round Leaf and some smaller ones hidden somewhere
1 Java fern lace (not growing at all)
1 Onion plant that has flowered and the small ones are taking root.
A few struggling strands of Myriophyllum mattogrossense
Background plants are bunches of Rotela
Several new sprouting small Vallisneria looking plants
Some scattered Micro sword for foreground
Fish
8 neons
8 cardinal neons
several black mollies
RCS throughout
2 Khuli loaches
A few assasin snails to maintain MTS control (just got em from armthehomeless)
