Yeah, that anacharis is basically a weed! I like it though because it absorbs all the nitrates in the water when it grows that fast. I don't use a mechanical filter in that tank, just plants. It's a really low maintenance tank. I just have to change the CO2 once a month and trim the anacharis every 2 weeks.

I forgot to post the lighting: four 40W bulbs (two full spectrum 5000K, two wide spectrum 2250K)

Oh, and for the CO2 I'm using two 3L bottles of sugar/yeast mixture.
