By the way, I should add:  no CO2 injection, no additives or water
treatments (other than a bit of baking soda for the KH and the requisite 
de-chloramine-ator).  The pH is 6.8-7, KH and GH both ~3-4 degrees.  Temp
about 76-7.  I'm trying to go for something low-maintenance (but I don't
mind cutting extra plant growth).  Think those are all the stats....
