    Got my plants in from SWF.com

    Awesome! It looks great! Razor- what kind of lighting do you have? I was interested in getting some shaving brush later down the line too. I really like how it looks- looks like long healthy grass!

    I finally just got my first fish! 2 little perculas! They're so cute! I will try to post pictures later- when the light turns on. Just had 1 question- how long does it take for them to get comfortable? Last night they just stayed in one corner the whole time. Now this morning- there is one...
