really makes a difference I think. I used black plastic sheeting and taped it to the back. And the plants have grown a bit too since last pic.

Looks nicer IMO. Clean up the back of the tank with all the cords and such.

I agree! Just do something with that hornwort!

Hornwort is gone now but here's the tank about one month later and I've had to trip some of the plants a couple times already.

Looks good. Are you using PC's? How many watts?

Looking good, Mike!

Funky: 260W/90 gallons = 2.8 wpg (Watts per gallon). My 30 gallon long has more light than that: 96W/30 gallons = 3.2 Wpg. Mike's tank is considered a medium light tank, where as mine is considered a high light tank.

I have a single 54w T5 on my 75 gallon and it's alot of light.

T5s give out more light than T8s
