Since I'm getting outta the hobby for a while, I think I should at least share my last tank (out of nine others this year). I've been doing planted tanks for a couple of years, but gotta stop for a bit while I make a few changes at home.
Specs:
20 g acrylic w/ eheim 2013 plumbed in the back (thanks david!)
2X65 watt coralife w/2 10000k tubes
40 pounds eco-complete substrate (thanks for the deal pk!)
1 120gph powerhead for flow
DIY CO2 w/ glass disc diffuser
Estimative Index ferts
Livestock:
Many red cherry shrimp
5 Bumble bee shrimp (Caridina cf. breviata)
6 Crystal Red Shrimp (cardina sp.)
12 amano shrimp (Cardina Japonica)
14 Dwarf crays (Cambarellus shufeldtii)
5 true Siamese Algae Eaters
20 White Clouds
2 Juvenile Bristlenose Plecos
First, a FTS:

The foreground is glossostigma elatanoides, the plant on the left is Hygrophila Difformis, then to the right of that is Java Fern, and finally the plants in the right corner are just a bunch of different species of cryptocornes
The crypts:

Whatthehell, here's a shot of my shrimp breeder tank:

The plant in there right now is Hemianthus Micranthemoides
Here's the shrimp (Crystal Red and Red Cherry) on some mini moss:

And My 5 Gal cube at work:
The plants are Dwarf Hairgrass in the front, Blyxa Japonica and E. Tenellus in the midground, and Najas grass (najas guadelupensis) in the back. It's filled in much better since this pic was taken. There are red cherry shrimp and rasboras micro inside. I've got 3x13 watts PC over it (6500K).
Any questions or comments are definitely welcome.
The tank, filter, and substrate of the 20 will be up for sale after I ship out the plants.
