Thats awesome. Is that a fern? I love ferns but mine always die, I wish i could surround my pond with those and banana plants.
It is some type of fern, I forget the exact name. I just kind of picked random plants marked *low light*... We'll see what survives. If I can find some sort of vine plant that will flourish then I'll let it grow all over.

Looking really good! I bet the fish love their new home
Thanks. :) I sure hope they are, it was a lot of work... (and $)

I'll probably stare at it for a couple hours tonight to watch and make sure everyone is doing well.

Quiet One 3000 does the waterfall filter @ about 700gph.
ViaAqua 2600 pumps through a plastic tote filter @ about 700gph. (Not shown in pics, it's just a plastic tote filled with filter media)
Cascade Internal Filter/Powerhead does about 150gph.

So should be a little over 1,500gph total flow for 400g.

I am not sure if I am going to leave the waterfall setup or not, I really like it but it's making the garage Uber humid since I can't really cover it effectively. It will stay as is for now but I may change it up in the future.

I need to stick my extra Hygrometer in the garage, I am guessing it's 90-100% Humidity in there currently. I do not have a dehumidifier yet but I may have to get one. The crappy part is they are all nearly $200... eek...
