Somewhere, I came across a video/guide of someone crafting fake driftwood trees. They used wire, to craft the basic skeletal frame, then some white clay or resin, to make the tree. Once it was almost set they made some notches and groove lines, then painted it, with different shades of brown...

So glad I asked you where you get it, I was in the store yesterday and they had a 9 oz jar for $8. What a joke these places are. Thanks again. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thank you both very much. Will give the poly-fill a try for regular filter, but think I will stick to cutting out the charcoal pads. Using loose, crushed, charcoal seems like it might get messy when I have to clean it out. I bet it does work 10x better though. Where do you get that? I have...

I have seen a few people talk about buying big sheets of filter material or charcoal sheets to cut to fit whatever canister system they use. I have been buying generic pads, that I think are just ones cut by someone else to fit. They were good but the last charcoal batch I got were see through...

Yes, I searched for anubias nana petite soon as you suggested it and found some very nice looking patches of it. That will look so much better that having to bind everything down to bits of driftwood or rocks. I had actually thought thought about star repens too, always liked how the look, but...

My main two tanks

Thank you. I didn't know about that variety of anubias. Most would end up half or as big as the trees. So that would be perfect in size as well as the care guides I looked up said it can do well in substrate, as long as you do not bury the rhizome. It was only partly a matter of look for...

I have two tanks that I have made driftwood bonsai trees using weeping moss. They are doing really well but the unfortunate side effect of the great looking tree canopy is a shadowy area under the trees. I have some marsilea minuta and a little of a similar plant that I am in the "waiting to...

A few days ago I transferred and rescaped my aquarium into a new tank. I learned a lot of lessons from my first planted tank and I wanted to redo it and correct a few mistakes. As well as do things a little differently. :fish2: So I have been looking over SEVERAL diy co2 guides and setups. Many...

I had good faith in people and oh boy am I regretting it now. The carpet plant I got from someone, infested with ramhorn snails. The supposedly pretreated driftwood, the source of planaria worms. I have tried and tried to get rid of the snails for four months now, I even got assassin snails...
