Fish Kept:
Currently there are Two glo-fish style neon fish, three emperor tetras, two penguin tetras, two black medium sized angelfish, two rainbow tetras, a black molly, three algae-eating shrimp and a dwarf frog.
Corals/Plants:
I have three amazon swords and a brand new offset; about five scarlet temple plants, four red ludwigia, three corkscrew vallisneria, two mondo grass plants, some dwarf grass and a bit of java moss.
Tank Size:
20 gallons
Advice:
My experience with planted tanks is the following:
- Take your time with the layout (i.e.which plants to use, and which lighting, hardness, fish will be compatible)
- Be patient!
- Do your research. There's more to aquarium keeping than throwing a bunch of cool looking fish in a tank.
- A healthy looking aquarium will be much more rewarding

About Yourself:
I have been keeping fish for years, I started with a tropical tank with the usual suspects including Neons, Guppies etc ... since then I've had an American cichlid tank, and a planted tank for Discus. I now have a Malawi setup and it's lead me to experiment with DIY Backgrounds, I would recommend trying this for yourself.

Yellow labs, mixed blue mbuna, Synodontis Catfish, Bristle-nose Catfish

Description:
This isn't the best picture I took, but the available one at the moment.
My 29G tank is on the kitchen counter and becomes the divider between kitchen and the TV/living area so I have no background.
It's a bit tricky to 'landscape' them as I should be able to see the beauty from both sides.
Most of the plants (Java moss, java fern, amazon swords) have been there for months. I just added anubias nana, dwarf lily (not really shown in the picture) and also cork screws recently.
I hope you like them. Please rate me (above 5 please ;P, otherwise don't rate me :-))

Fish Kept:
Right Now: 2 Zebra Danios, 4 Leopard Danios, 5 Neon Tetras, 6 Black Tetras, 6 Panda Corydoras, 1 Banjo Catfsh and 1 Bushynosed Pleco.
I plan on getting more Tetras and Danios to replenish the ones lost through cycling.
Corals/Plants:
I have 4 Cyrpts, 2 Hygos Siamensis, 2 Hygo Compacts, 2 Amazon Swords, 2 Anubis Plants
3 Glossostigma plant clusters, Cardimine Kytra
and a Hygro Polysperma. There is also a healthy supply of algae growing on my driftwood. ^^
Tank Size:
40 gallons
Advice:
Patience is very important as a aquarist. You can't rush anything. 90% of "quick fix" products are shams. You HAVE to cycle a tank properly, either fishless, with plants, or with hardy fish like Danios. Plan your tank before you start making it. When you finally have your tank, realize that there will always be some algae. Its a sign of a healthy tank!^^
Description:
My second tank, its my favourite. I have a hea;thy supply of plants and a large fish base to support the plants. The goal for this tank was to give as much of a natural look as possible.
