Jan,

> What kind of fish do you keep there?

Although it's a 55G tank, the water section only holds about 18G. 
 So I'm limited as to the amount of fish I can keep in the tank.  

It's kind of a mish-mash of tiny fish that don't fit into my other 
communities. There are several marginatus pencilfish, a few rummy 
noses, a female honey gourami who's mate recently kicked the 
bucket, Corydoras robinae, a couple of otocinclus, and a few top 
spawning killies.  My favorites are the pencils and the killies.

Actually the bigest "problem" with the tank is the incredible 
evaporation rate due to the large surface area plus the waterfall. 
 In the winter, I lose almost a gallon a day.
