Fruju Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Put the sand in, a little cloudy and ive reduced the sound produced from the pump, took some photos of present stage, still unsure on the decor for this tank, suggestions? I thought a combo of wood, stones and anubias planting. Anyways, pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Looking good, Dels are awesome, mine have been raised on a dark gravel and their base colour is almost olive... looks pretty good, not the same colour contrast as yours tho.

A.PROPHECY Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 two large chunks of wood with anubias on them would be nice i rekon dont over do it and it will look sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 two large chunks of wood with anubias on them would be nice i rekon dont over do it and it will look sweet I agree. Fraser, you can buy my two bits of large driftwood with anubias if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 two large chunks of wood with anubias on them would be nice i rekon dont over do it and it will look sweet I was thinking along the same lines too, but have pieces going vertical rather than lying flat, but dont know where id source the wood, all the wood that Ive picked up around the place havent gone too well in the tanks, always leaching tannins etc. Dont suppose anyone out there has wood about 80cmish+ that has been used in tanks, sinks and is safe? Oh yeah, and in auckland. What types of anubias can tie to wood? I was thinking of using aestheticly pleasing rocks and planting anubias around the base of the wood. I'd be interested but you'd have to wait for the cash, dont have it on me right now, especially since im buying your other guys But i could prob do a bank deposit later on?

Duncan7 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I was going to go on a tea tree stump mission one day, had a really cool bit that is now with davidR in one of his tanks. Also thought that a nice branch structure from a tea tree or similar inverted so that the trunk or thick bit is up and the branching branches are down kinda like roots. Thought it may have been easier to find than a nice rooty stump. Anyway that probably doesnt help you much, but agree with what the others have said, low light plants anubis, and java fern maybe, on wood. Will be again along similar lines to what i will be doing... even the festae!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 The pipes on the sand? They are just bits of pvc that i found in the garden, cut em up and gave the fish a hideaway, not permenent though, gonna make it natural, dont like the artificial look.
