I know i don't know what was wrong i uploaded to a site but it wouldn't show them
 
I see it now ... dont know what happened.
Anyways it is real nice - especially for your first time with a planted tank.
I love the bolivian ram :drool:
 
I really like it. You could get a little more of those reddish stem plants. Just wanted to know what type of light do you have
 
looks like your off to a good start, but i think you should try to develop more of a foreground, midground, background with the plants.
 
It is ok, there is room for improvment. Some more aquascaping and it can look very nice. Forst of all do ypu have co2? Whats your lighting? And have you considered using EI? You might have to improve the hardware, and supplements before anything.

Lighting I got 2 20 Watt Floraglo lights, then in the back i have a 36' bulb that is about 40 watts. My lights give me a littlte under 2 WPG, so i don't need a co2 system. Also use plant fertlizer and do weekly water changes. Thanks for the advice so far everyone

Thanks, its some special weighted aquarium sand its like got like 50 pounds in there. I live in Chicago so unless u live there i couldn't tell u where to find it. But I really like Java Moss, does anyone think it would look good in my tank.

Where in Chicago? (store name also!) I live in KS., but am in Chicago lots! I recently went to Scottys and that store is fantastic! I found plants there that I can't get in Ks.
 
The place is not actually in chicago. It is in a suburb called south elgin. The store is called sea escapes. PM me if u want the address
