wow your tank is beautiful! I just got a 29 gallon tank and i want it to be a planted one but i have never done one before so i need some help. How much time and work does it take to have such a beautiful tank like yours? ALso how long do plants last for? And how much money would it be for a 29 gallon tank to look like this? and if you have any tips for me please share!

Everytime I see Travis's tank I get all hyped up about my tank again. This tank is an inspiration to me and as Tropical90 stated "this tank should be the number one planted tank. From Duane in DE.
