I am restarting this tank. My plan is to make it a fairly densely planted community tank. It is a work in progress, but I am thoroughly enjoying the process. I've provided some pictures of the tank. I've given far more attention to plants and fish over that past couple of weeks than I have to figuring out how to use my camera or to taking photographs of fish tanks. Indeed, so far, photographing the tank has proved far more challenging than planting, stocking and getting things to grow well. I will be working on my photography skills over the next weeks and posting more photos soon. Hopefully, both the tank and my photography skills improve. Photos were updated as of 5/3/09. Best, Jason

Your idea is outstanding; the problem is something that not sufficient people are talking intelligently about. I am very completely satisfied that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something relating to this.
