No CO2 yet. Still thinking about that. The main focus is the fish and I keep seeing horror stories about CO2 system failures and suffocating all the fish.

Tank looks great.

If you (or anyone) needs more flourite gravel (mostly black with dark red mixed in...it is used...maybe 6-8 months of use) I have about 50 lbs you can have. Also have a nice piece of dark, heavy, drift wood with java ferns growing on it someone can have too.

Nice.

Without CO2, all I grew was algae, my plants died. Without UV, my water was green. I think planted tanks are way harder than salt, my hat's off to you for doing way better than me

Well it's only been up for about 4 days now, we will see how fast I kill all the plants!

I may be interested in that driftwood! I've got a Turtle tank that the driftwood in there right now is too light and they move it around the tank all the time.
