Nice tank, @FishBeast . Makes me want to go back to black sand.

Thank you! It's the Imagitarium stuff from Petco (I think), the bag was ruptured so they gave it to me half off.
Ive been interested in it but was never sure if it was the stuff where the black color would wear off or not. Had tons of cheap black gravel start to chip after a while and then the black started to look more salt and pepper like. That stuff looks good!Thank you!

I've had some of their black sand for close to 3 years now. Still looks good... They may have changed their coating process. It's still acrylic coated sand, I believe.
I had thought it was a coated product and not the coal slag that sometimes gets used. Good to know it had been holding up for you.

I love to see my phone display 'A year ago' pics. So this week a year ago I was working on upgrades to the fishroom. Swapping out my 75 gallon tanks for 90's. You can see the difference in height between it on the left and the 75 on the right. Other changes were to come as you can see from the next "now" picture.
Fishroom as it looks today. Both 90's in place and two Aquaclear 110's on the tanks instead of just the one. Also the 30 gallon was moved from the top middle to the bottom and a 46g bowfront put in place up top.

This threads almost as cold as the weather today. Bring it back to life!
@John58Ford- Awesome tanks; really beautiful. 
@lloyd378, The plant all look good, nice and green, very healthy. Yeah its funny but my bowfront is kind of the same, hard to tell there are that many fish in it because they are all fairly little. With mine you spot the school of tetras and the big gourami first, then as you watch the tank you start to see the swordtails and apistos along with the bn pleco.

The dust settled in this tank finally and I had a minute to snap a couple shots before I took off to work.
Here's day 2 of "the plant beast", it'll grow into it's name in a year or three I'm sure.

An new old new beginning.
One post ago, but filling in.

Well, I hate to follow my own post with the same tank, again, but it's gone from "filling in" to "about full". Probably another 3-5 months before the lilies do the lilies thing but pretty close to my target. Was playing around with and without my can lights during the sunset mode, thoughts?
