I will use this method for the leaves but I don't think I will be able to do this setup that soon since it is my parents that choose when we go to the petshop and I dont want to annoy them with my tank. But as soon as I will do the setup I will post picture!One last thing if you do get almond leaves I suggest boiling them to get your tanning if you would like it then after allowing the water to cool put them in. Rehyadrates the leaves so they will sink quicker as well. Besides that good luck on the tank and lost pics if you decide to add leaves I would love to see it!
