Thank you for the compliments everyone!
germanshepherdlver: The spider plants are silk. I really like the way they hang over the wood.
-*-MicHAeL-*-: In the 45 G, I have cory cats, rasbora hets, cherry barbs, a croaking gourami, a male sword and two plecos. In the 35 G, I have two female swords, ten juvie swords, 3 upside down catfish and a whiptail catfish.
Fiori: It's Tahitian Moon Sand and I love it. I've got white sand in my other tank and the "mess" shows up too easily on the bottom. I don't have that problem with the black sand.
tlcbonanza: My plants are mostly silk with about two or three plastic. No real plants at all!
Thanks so much for the questions.
