Oh no Arron you really have wetted my appetite for planted aquariums again. You really have an eye for detail. I have just read through you other thread with the bog wood and I have to say I'm getting an itch. I might just have a go at a small planted, using your methods as I'm really impressed with your work. I'm currently building a large marine system but I see absolutely no reason why I cant have a nice tropical aquarium in the sump area of the stand. I will probably be making a nuisance of myself in the months ahead.
Thanks for rekindling a spark

Thanks Bagu
I have added some Eleocharis acicularis

hey mate just a question...
that wood you got did you buy that from a fish store or just go around picking up some wood ...
cause its expensive in the shops and that looks like a few 100 dollars worth of wood there ?


thanks

Another great tank Aaron, looking at your tank's makes me want to have another go at the freshwater side. Fantastic stuff.

i got it from a member on APC. It is manzanita driftwood and cost me $90 but i didnt use it all. Very cheap and very good quality. Like you say it is expensive in aquatic stores!!
Check the first page under hardscape for more details.
