Lis. 4,167 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks Steve I won't actually be soaking the wood, simply because it's far too big fortunately hornwood doesn't leach tannins, and sinks straight away I'll just need to give it a good clean before it goes into the tank 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShawneeRiver 2,720 Posted December 30, 2014 It's going to look amazing! I thought I would be traumatized after seeing the gaps from the missing plants, but it still looks great. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lis. 4,167 Posted December 30, 2014 It's going to look amazing! I thought I would be traumatized after seeing the gaps from the missing plants, but it still looks great. I thought I'd be devastated too still plenty to do, but I'm happy that it doesn't look awful 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anna-Katharina Parsons 495 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) It's really sad about your planted tank it was amazing. But I do get the cleaning issue and appreciate myself to be able to take out the wood and clean underneath. Your Glenwood looks amazing and so does the anubias. Can't wait to see the results. Where did you get you're wood Edited December 30, 2014 by Dandelion Blue 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lis. 4,167 Posted January 5, 2015 Added a few pieces of bogwood with java fern to the middle section of the tank Really liking how the centre of the tank is starting to look 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lis. 4,167 Posted January 6, 2015 Borrowed my sisters phone, it has a better camera. I added koi clay after last nights water change, and the tank is crystal clear 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4prettyfish 2,702 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) You've been busy Alicia after Christmas with your tank. Love the changes you've done. As always, it's a gorgeous tank. Tell your little brother he looks just like you with a smile of dimples. He's adorable just like you. I wish I could just blink my eyes three times and magically have your tank and fish in my living room. That would be awesome. (I think I might have said this already though. That's how bad I would like my wish to come true. ) Edited January 7, 2015 by 4prettyfish 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
