It looks good! You are doing a good job with it.

Thanks! Getting another shipment of plants soon! Just some more colorful midground plants.

Update!

Got some new plants, Alternanthera reineckii rosaefolia, Rotala macranda 'Butterfly', Rotala macranda, Ludwigia brevipes, and Rotala rotundifolia. I removed the cherry barbs because they were they only fish reacting to the co2, since moving them out I have been able to increase the co2 alot!

Aqua shock and awe

If I may, what do you use for your plant growth, fertz, co2, subtrate wise

Wow it looks incredible

THanks everyone.

For ferts, I use the EI Method of dosing, KHO3 and KH2PO4 for macros and CSM+B for micros. It is pretty much the staple for an high-tech planted tank. In depth here: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... guide.html

For lights I use a 2x 24watt T5HO bulbs, one 6500K and one 10,000K.

For substrate I use ADA Aquasoil Amazonia. Love it and wouldn't ever go back to anything else.

For CO2 I have a 7lb Co2 tank hooked up to a regulator, then a solenoid, then needle valve, leading to an inline ceramic diffuser on the output of the canister filter.

I thinnk the colorata is starting to turn more and more red! Fingers crossed!

More pictures! The black neons are actually very pretty, they have a bright red patch above their eyes and their horizontal white stripe is very very bright! Also their dorsal fins have turned a shade of red and their bottom fins are yellow! Very cool! The next ones are my sparkling gouramis that I THINK is a pair, not positive, if someone can sex them that'd be great! Hydrocotle grew in really fast now that it's gotten established!
