This is actually partly my tank as well (I live in the same household as the original poster). What part is floating...? Granted I have minimal experience with plants. If you mean the java moss I have it tied down via anchor or rubber bands depending on where it's at.

The plants add a nice touch!

I was at the auction, too, and got a bit carried away!  My purchases:  3 Apistogramma Borelli, 4 Kribs, 13 red cardinal tetras (should have been 14, but one died in the bag at the auction), and 5 bronze Cories.  I also got a Java Fern, Anubias Nana, some Hygrophila Polysperma, and an Italian Val.  So much for sticking to my budget!

I stuck to my goal of staying with in $120 dollars :'(

I picked up

A 5 gallon tank
A 10 gallon Tank
Some inserts for a magnum filter
A pond/aquarium filter
A pump for the above filter
2 small Dovi
2 small Venusta

It was either nothing I wanted or nothing that was "priced" right

Since I am in the middle of a re-arrangement of tanks and upgrading, it was best I didn't buy a lot of fish, Plus I was sticking to my goal ;D

I picked up 10 Cherry Red Zebras from Mike Z--thank you again!

From the auction I got a trio of Buffalo Heads and my daughters picked up some dwarf crayfish and won some guppies and apisto's from Fantastic Fin's kids raffle. Good time over-all!

I would have loved to have gone,  but with one in college and the other two in H.S. and a graduation upcoming.  I thought it best that I stay away.  I'm not very good at just window shopping.   I really need to get the wife into this hobby, too many dirty looks lately ! Glad to hear that everyone had a good time.  I am looking forward to going on that fish tour though. I'm not missing that event....Yeah yeah w/ cold beer as well...

You BOUGHT MTS's? (Malyasian Trumpet Snails)

 LOL- Next time let me know, I have a 180g that constantly has them! I'll give you a bunch for free!

My Angelfish tank is on the main floor of my house, and has a slight algae problem.  I got 15 of them for $2.00.  Hopefully they help out.
