Thanks for the comment. Right now the Narrow leaf Java Fern on the left side has more than doubled for the second time since set up in Nov 09. I need to get in there and cut out half of it. This tank has Mineralized Soil and I don't fertilize at all. It is very low maintenance.
That 75 gallon tank on the left was only temporary while the new tank was being set up. It is gone now.
@cahernand1 You miss the point of the project. It was a club meeting. We were having a fun time. It wasn't a contest for speed set ups, like an ironman aquascaping contest.
@wildnotmild1 I forgot to add the black trim was added to the glass canopy, locally collected rocks with a lot of character were donated by a member. This tank is very low maintenance. I have only changed water 4 times since Nov 2009, 30-40% each time. No fertilizers at all, no trace elements. Very little algae. Recently hacked the Narrow Leaf Java Fern in half. The piece remaining is 2-3 times the size seen in this video. It was shading out my C. usteriana and C. affinis. Light 2 wpg, 12 hr/day
@wildnotmild1 Thanks. This tank was set up by my local plant club, NJ Aquatic Gardeners Club. We had a fun meeting. We set the tank up from bare glass: installed plumbing, set up CO2, Mazzei Injector, Ehiem 2262 canister filter, made Mineralized Soil, Rinsed off soaked Manzanita wood, decorated, ate food, shot the breeze, and had a really good time. The goal was not to see how fast we could set up this tank. Most of the plants were donated by members. I bought C. parva, C. affinis.
@jerrytheplater The Mineralized Soil is seen in the first three seconds of the video as dried cracked MS before it was ground to powder and mixed with home made clay.
This is a planted aquarium. Takes a little longer than most think. You have to take into consideration growth patterns and such. Again, you're all very young.

@MrPrazil What else are you going to plant in? Unless you do an all moss and/or all plant-growing-on-wood tank.
