Wow, what a gorgeous tank! I am so jealous of your anarchris, or however you spell it- the PetSmart nearest me is an hour away and when I went looking they had just run out >.< Still on the hunt for it, though! Good luck with your Mystery, they are an absolute joy to have! Just watch that he doesn't eat your plants- I got two that almost completely ate my first plants... But my yellow one has never been a problem :P Excuse my rambling XD

Your tank looks good! I have those same lights and heater, they are wonderful. I actually have my anacharis floating :), You'll like this plant though. Your snail is cute! I bought a tiny mystery snail and he/she is teal. They are neat little creatures!

it's looking good so far...from here on out you're gonna have to be careful about further plant placement: just like fish, you have to take into account the adult size of your plants. some of them (the wisteria and java ferns in particular) can develop a very wide spread, which can block proper lighting to smaller adjacent plants.

re: the person who couldn't spell anacharis- my fiance's been around me too much, the other day at petsmart she asked if they had any "anarchist" plants available
