What kind of fish are you planning for this tank????

Not sure yet? I have thought about angels, then I was thinking rainbow fish and roselike sharks, maybe some cardinal tetras, otos!! Any good suggestions?

Why and do you have any suggestions for me?

I have 2 clown plecos in my 26 and they never leave the tree ornament!! I will probably get ones that get bigger than the ones I have now!!

Just don't go flying backwards in those dining chairs.

LOL I will have to keep my boys under control!! We ate dinner in there tonight so I dimmed lights and turn on the aquarium light and it was awesome even though I was staring at air!!

how do you connect the driftwood to the slate? silicone? (im also obsessed with driftwood)!

The easiest way to do it is buy it that way!! LOL Honestly it was on all the pieces when I found them, they are connected with some type of bolt!!

oh

Sorry I couldn't help, you can also just use gravel or rocks to weight it down!!

I really like your set up, pretty jealous myself. I have Malaysian driftwood in mine. I had boiled it for about 3 hours and soaked it for a month. I put it in my aquarium and it leached a mild amount of tannins. I read that using SeaChem Purigen it would remove the tannins. So i gave it a shot and it removed the light tea color and the water is crystal clear. Some actually enjoy the look, i didn't mind it but i still wanted to try it.

But again, tank looks great. Can't wait to see it full of life.
