Need Ideas For My Tank

[Phillip.M]

Guys i need your help! what would you guys put in the left side of the tank and the front as well? I'm planing to attack java fern into that hole in the driftwood in the right. So i need yur ideas!
EDIT: c02 injected; fert added every other day; 2.5 wpg --tank info.

Right now, I would just focus on adding more stem plants, like hygrophilia and limnophilia (sp). They grow fast and will help combat algae, though I don't see any in your tank now. I also have myriophylum, cabomba, and rotalia in my 15g, but I have 3.7 WPG. I have the more demanding species.

How did you get your wood to stay like that?

Ok i'l check into those plants. What's the size of ur hood that holds ur light? About the wood; i got 4 pieices; 2 small and 2 medium and I just carefully stacked it together in the tank. In chicago i go to petco.. There's many great petstores here. You should try the yellowbook and check them out.

My tank is 10"x20". It's a 15g high. I have a glass cover and then I have two 24" coralife 28W T5 fixtures. They jut out about 1.5 inches off each end, but there are no dark spots in the tank, and they are very compact. They lay just right on top of the tank. I also have a 10g with one of those fixtures.

Sure, this is the fixture. It's quite nice. I'm satisfied with it. It produces very little heat.
