Winner November 2005 is Woland.
90 gallon freshwater tank built into my living room wall. Rather heavily planted & decorated in order to make a semi-successful community tank containing 1 male and 2 Female Carinotetraodon irrubesco. Other fishes are a Pleco, 10+ Ancistrus, 8 SAE, 2 Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, 2 Indian Dwarf cats and 40+ Neons. Plants take some punishment from the everlasting hunt for (imaginary) snails. Small gravel as substrate. A select choice of roots are built together and attatched to a mahogany "frame" which is hidden under the gravel.
Specs: T5 lights, JBL500 outboard filter, Fluval 4+ inboard filter, a small powerhead for current.
