    Looks nice. I'd place some taller plants in there toward the pack and get some smaller grass types to spread around the tank.

    I have no idea what the "T" stands for. Someone else may know. I always use standard florescent or compact florescents.

    I agree it looks good but could use a lot more plants

    i would suggest some moss for the 1/4 of the block there would make a niffty cave looking deal.

    And now for the million dollar question.....................................................
    the "T" in T5 means the shape of the bulb...so actually its a tubular5 bulb........now what did i win for answering the million dollar question???

    Looks very promising, I'm new to the planted tanks too!
    I would go for something tall, maybe some ital. vals in the back corners and the moss would be awesome growing on the rock as a cave (as already rec.)
    Would love to see some picts as it progresses ;)

    looking at this after I've already seen the sword in your tank, I really like that you added the sword, it kind of made a center piece plant for you tank.
