Hello,
I've had tanks for a couple years, stumbled upon this place, mostly from being linked from aquarium coop...
Planted tanks are relatively new to me, but I've learned enough to do OK I think.
Here is my large acrylic 55g:
Equipment:
Finnex Planted+ 48"
Fluval 306
Jager 200w
Hydor and Sicce powerheads
20lb CO2 + UP Regulator (soon to be replaced so I can throw the needle valve on this thing out the window, building my own this time)
Fish stock:
Misc Snails
Albino and Black BN Plecos (see Mr Bristles below)
Common Pleco
Giant Danios
Pearl Danios
Siamese Algae Eaters
Halequin Rasboras - purple and regular
Neon Green Rasboras - aka Frank Food
and
Frank the Pictus Catfish
Frank is probably my favorite fish, I've had him for a couple years, his older larger Pictus he used to be kept with jumped out of an older smaller tank I had and I was left with just him... Frank has eaten: Countless shrimp (Ghost mostly, but he did take out a couple amano shrimp before I moved htem), neon tetras (won't last a day without losing one or two), and apparently Neon Green Rasboras as I've recently learned. He likes the bright colored fish.
Pleco, he seems to like it back there instead of in the T-Rex head now, but he'll come out and go around the tank walls and eat his algae wafers at night:
Mr Bristles, bristles so long they Y off like large antlers on a buck:
Plant stock:
Anubia Hastifolia
Crypt Lucens
Crypt Lutea
Grandifolius Swords
Duckweed
Ludgwigia
Jungle Val
Misc?
Came a long way from this when I first got the tank:
Dining room tank (newer):
Equipment:
Aqueon 29G Tank + Versatop
Finnex Planted+ 30"
Eco Complete + black Petco sand
Fluval 206 - new
Marineland HOB - will be removed once the fluval cycles
Jager 100w
Yeast CO2 (will go pressurized soon, see 20lb tank on side of tank waiting for new regulator)
Fish Stock:
Amano shrimp
Misc snails
BN Plecos, 1 albino, 1 black
Neon Tetras
Male Guppies Assorted
Plant Stock:
Java Fern
Needle Swords
Crypt Lutea
Staurogyne Repens
Ludwigia
Also not displayed are my 2 10g I use as breeder tanks for guppies and have been less intentionally used for BN plecos.

A 30 I'm trying to stock upstairs is the neon queen of neon. Everything is purple. and I mixed 1 part black gravel with 2 parts neon purple gravel
