ya i found the plants at the lfs and i found some driftwood, but nothing that big, but ill keep looking how did you prepare it for your tank, the same way as any other wood, let it sit in water for a while and then boil it?

Glad you found some plants bud. The wood in my tank is not driftwood, its cork bark as used in reptile set ups. its all hollow and floats so i've siliconed it and used cable ties as well.

o ya and what about the reptile sand, is it this stuff:

If you've siliconed everything in how are planning on cleaning it, or can it come out
in one?

Not all of it is siliconed in place, a lot of it is attached to the brace bars with cable ties and a couple of chop sticks. the big trunks are all just jammed under the brace bars and can all be removed if need be. the cork has swelled just enough to give it a tight fit.

hope that answered your question.

Pretty much covers it, thanks


I only ask because I was researching a tank a while back and was shown some pretty elaborate auqascapings but down side is you can never clean them properly and dead spots are unavoidable
