Very nice.  It ALMOST makes me want to set up a planted tank.  Fear of my wife stops me.

This tank is now shut down, I decided to consolidate this tank & my Oceanic 75 gallon, the tank that replaces these 2 well served & greatly enjoyed tanks ( 59gln & Oceanic 75 gallon) with a 79 gallon show tank, details of the new tank can be found  via the link below
