Very impressive! I used to live in CR (now in the US). I remember seeing an aquarium store in Ciudad Colon a few year back. Look forward to specs.
 
Hey Leonardo!

Im glad you came over to the forum, its great to get different perspectives on planted tanks from all around the world. :thumbup:

Oh wow and you have lacustris, they are looking so nice i dont think there is a bluer freshwater fish in the hobby than these guys. They are quite common in the UK, but totally underated becasue they dont look anything in the shops and I see few people with mature fish which are gorgeous (well for fish) :D .

Are you finding better supplies of rainbows now over in Costa Rica?
 
Humongous wood! I don't think I've seen a bigger piece apart from Amano's personal tank. Perfectly sized tank for rainbows.
