MFK'ers!

Been a while, had to check if my account was still active here :)

In my usual fashion, I've gotten bored with the look of the 190g, so I had to change things up a bit. Added a few fake plants, inspired by the ADG aqua scapes. Also switched out the LED fixture for my old T5HO fixture. Currently running one Giesseman Aquaflora bulb. I love LEDs, but I miss the color of a fluorescent bulb. You'll also notice the discus are no more. Lost a few due to an unknown reason, so I said F it, and gave the rest to my buddy.

So on the new look, yay or nay?

Thanks guys. I need some more fish in there. I have a few eartheaters and some rotkeil sevs, but they all like to stick around the lower parts of the tank. I need something big and active with color, that's not aggressive. Ideas?

you need some neons... or exodons...
Too small! I have a pack of lemon tetras and you can hardly see them. Not to mention I have to fish them out of the overflow box almost daily, even with an eggcrate barrier.

Your layout is amazing. You have literally motivated me to re-do my tank
