I love how slow you are taking this. It blows my mind. I'm the kind of guy that buys tons of stuff and tries to stick it in the tank to make it look pretty, and usually it ends up looking like crap. I would try your approach but I know I don't have the patience to do it.
The tank looks superb by the way. I'm gonna agree with stanleo and say I liked the tank when you had the driftwood on both ends.
