Here's my tank, been up a little over a year. Just a couple of Amazon Swords, and a few Java Ferns with a peice of driftwood. I took the eclipse hood off of my larger 37 tank and put it on this 29 (the 37 is now a reef system...or at least workin on it). I painted the back blue, but may go with black if I had it to do over again. I don't use an airpump, the plants provide plenty of oxeygen.
80 Gal Visio Glass tank With Internal Overflow.
Sump was a berlin sump that I threw in some Bioballs and blue filter pad and Filter Floss.
