    Do you think fish would have any problems running into the fishing line? I'd like to do this with my 55gal but I have some fish that would go in it. Thanks!

    Agree with comment about Pandora. Reminded me of it when I first seen it.

      If this is your first time in planted tank, try focus in growing healthy plant. Once you accomplished that, the rest is just up to your imagination.
