Thank you so much! We worked on the other caves todayAshleyGracie said:
Here are some piccies. As you can see the first one we made dried, and is quite light. We may paint it with black krylon fusion.

Wood came in today! I forgot to get a pic of the big box and taking them out and such.
They're in the tank now, not stinking
They don't look..how I was expecting?
Slightly disappointed but I think I will love them after they sink and get some plants on 'em. I do love the smallest one though, it would make a good tree! I may keep it for this tank rather than the 10.
I also really like their colors

Glad you think so!AquaPit said:
I agree, the wood looks amazing! Not sure why you're disappointed with it - what were you expecting to be different? They look great to me.
This is just a personal thing for me because I know you've had compliments about your background, but I feel it detracts attention away from the natural wood. Photos of wood aren't necessary when you've got such beautiful specimens in the tank!
The smallest piece of wood would definitely make a good tree. A tree should really be the focal point of a tank and it works best in grassy, high-tech landscaped tanks where the tree can be centre of attention. I feel the effect would be a bit lost in this tank with so much else going on. I'd say keep it for your small tank if you want to have a go at making a tree!
The pipes are looking great too but are they still crumbling when dry?

I think it's just me staring at the pictures too long. He has them in one position in the pic, so when I got them I couldn't even tell they were the ones I ordered really. It's me being weird
I can understand that about the background. I can't have it a solid color though or I won't be able to see the BGK.
I'm upset it's bubbling..hoping the plants will cover it up.
Then again with the plants covering it up we probably could've done a solid background. Too late now >.<
Hmm..alrighty. It will go to the 10g then
I hope I can make it work there.
Glad you like the caves! They only crumbled the first day of curing, on the second they were really tough. So after a week..unless I drop it, it should be okay.
Even then it'd probably be fine but I still want to handle them carefully

Wood does look awesome!
Will be a fab looking set up when everything is completed and moss or something growing etc, ooh, you're getting there!
Hurry up!
Lol, only joking, take your time and get everything they way just as you want it.
