Well im looking for 1 last plant that i could put in the corner. It has to get
rather large. Medium- high light. And i would like maybe something that has a
very nice dark green. And easy care.

Ummm And im going to pick up some Liquid CO2, Flourish excel is good right?
And what about Fertilizers?, and what are root tabs or what ever there caleld huh.gif

thanks, I can't wait to take pics for you guys, it looks wonderful.

Yes, Excel is a good product as a substitute for C02. The same company that makes Excel makes a trace element fertilizer (which is what you should use) and they also make root tabs. Kent's also makes a good trace element fertilizer.

Here are some links to show you the products I am talking about:
