    I'd like to add 2 strips, but they haven't come in yet. I'm hoping to get them from work, rather than ordering them myself. :)

        FL, not much has changed in the past 2 days.

        But I LOVE the tank. Ecoxotic really did a nice job. Get one!! You won't be disappointed! I'm such a good influence, aren't I? )

        Actually, there are 2, well, maybe 3 things that initially sold me on the tank. When I first saw it at work, I was like, "Oh, cool! I didn't know we carried the glass tops for ADA tanks!" My coworker said, "That's not ADA - that's an EcoPico." I had no idea what he was talking about, but I wanted one!

        2, The price tag.

        3, It's just so cute!

        ADG's done some really beautiful setups with it.

          Looks very, very nice. Are you getting 2 of the white light strips, or more blue? What wood is that? Questions. Questions. Questions.

                Thanks!!

                I believe I'll be getting 2 white LED strips, since this one is a mixture of white and blue. But I'm still thinking. :)

                The wood is just your regular old Mopani driftwood, aka African Root.

                  Thanks! Our place is going to be H-E-double hockey sticks for the next couple of months, but as soon as we get settled in our new house, definitely!!

                    I'm thinking of doing Gertrude's Rainbows. Eventually. Not sure if I want to wait until we move or not, but probably.

                        Well, just a quick update. Added 6 CRS. Couldn't resist having something swimming around in there. :)

                        I'm currently just waiting it out to see which plants do better and which I like. The foreground plant depends on which plant I end up choosing for the background.

                        I'll post pics in a bit.

                            Was worried about the strength of the filter, but the CRS don't seem to mind it at all!
