Wow Im impressed.

These are great plants! I love the emersed stuff. What substrate do you keep those in?

Lol, yes! I have two big bins of them in my closet from my childhood. The feet that came with one of my fixtures doesn't fit onto my tank, so I had to improvise, I just had to "double brick" it to make sure it was stable. It works out well cause it made hooking up my LED nightlights a breeze

lego stand is awesome

+1 on the lego stand comment.
