What to Do With This Mess?

[MuddyWaters]

The only thing I can say is. "In an angel tank you try to go vertical as much as possible".

I found this site that is really fun to play with.

Scape-It On line Aquarium Aquascaping

This is so cool! I can see I'm going to be going down a rabbit hole LOL.

Are these hollow in the centre ?

They're kind of hollow- not quite all the way through, or only small opening all the way. It's really cool wood-

You could finish to hollow it , then split it in half, use the parts flat on the cut to create large caves under and drill a couple of holes on each sides and top to reach the inside. To create passages of different size... as a centre piece for a tank.

And be able to get 2 tanks instead !!!

Edit: Two caves in a tank.

I like your line of thinking, MaloK! There's only one problem. When I recently brought home a 10 gallon tank just to use as a quarantine, my wife told me if I buy another tank, she's leaving me.

So, I need to give it a couple of months before I try again

Wood is always good !

”She Who Must Be Obeyed” (SWMBO) is always telling me stuff like that . It’s harmless female bluster but to be on the safe side I sneak things in . Keep new purchases in the shed or hidden on the side porch and bring them in surreptitiously . Set up a new aquarium on water change day so as to not arouse suspicion . Be creative and be stealthy . If caught play the innocent good boy and remind her that you don’t have any other bad habits and she should be glad . I have been doing this for years . If you need advice let me know . I can outwit almost all women .

I do the same thing! I don't think I could get away with stealthily introducing a new tank. We downsized a few years back to get closer to town and cut down on cleaning, so space is a bit of a premium. I definitely have my eye on some nooks and/or flat surfaces around here for projects brewing in the back of my head, though.

I did buy another light last week and use your method. I told her I needed another light, got the "when are you going to stop buying stuff for that thing" speech and then went out, got it, installed it, broke down the box and carefully placed it in the recycle bin. Either she hasn't noticed, or (more likely) she just decided to let it slide. Either way, things are much brighter around here!

2 days later after such a discussion, I installed a 18 feet inflatable swimming pool in "MY" basement, With sand filter and metal halide light on top.

She yelled a little and was perplexed... Then I dropped 5 comets in there. She yelled a little more... Then I made them grow to whales...

She Yelled a lot louder... HOW COOL IT WAS !!! ( Well she said crazy), but I didn't understand very well.

You could drop a whole salad in there for supper. And make a backwash an hour later to unclog the filter.

It was so cool.
