Well, the bogwood is in,
Some plants are in (not having loads).
And the water is in... for a 2nd time (damn those tannins!)

So, here it is, all 57Gallons of it:

There is some on...

It got a bit wet in the top right corner hence the patch of lighter blue...

Oh sorry.
LOOKS GREAT.

Where did you get that bodwood?

The Aquatics Habitat in Brockworth, Gloucestershire.

Cost me £70 for 15KG, and thats WITH a 20% discount

If I had bought the same ammount but pre-treated and cleaned it would have cost me £150 or so...

Nice! I like it!

 

[Jimmy927]

you have done well with your tank young fishmaster!

 

[shrimpster97]

i like that bog wood

 

[tear-scar]

supposedly boiling the wood helps-- not that you'd want to boil the wood already in.

Also I can't imagine a pan big enough to boil it in.

 

[corrosive]

loving the bog wood, but not the price!

Has tannins changed the water alot.

When I add bogwood or mapani wood I always leave it to soak a few times in a bucket of boiling water, not only does this remove the brown stain that will enter the water otherwise, but it will also kill off any nasties present.

Might I suggest adding Amazon sword, I know you said you were not adding many plants but sword is excellent. Grows fast and does not require much in the way of lighting, once it starts to grow is provides excellent hiding places for fish and always contrasts excellent with bogwood or mopani wood.

Excellent looking tank though, any plans for possible fish to go in?

Lovely tank you have.

Tank looks lovely - got it looking great!

Most fish stuff I don't mind paying lots of money for but I absolutley hate paying those prices for bogwood! Ripoff scamming dodgy b^^%£$"s!!

.....sorry bout that ) ...but I have to say I do feel better

If it's 57 gallons would I be right in saying it is 48*21*15?
