Hey everyone!

I'm in dire need of some tank decor/scape ideas. I'll post pictures of the tank so far but it's a rio 180 currently stocking 12 black neon tetras and a pair of German rams...

looks like fungus, take the wood out and hose it off, then put the wood back in the tank.

How is this tank getting on, did you manage to add any more plants and any more up to date pictures for us ?

Also did you sort out the white fungus on the wood which is common in new wood in aquariums to do this, usually harmless to livestock but some can have diverse effect so best to be on the cautious side and scrub the white fungus off the wood, rinse off and return to tank, that does the trick normally.
