very pretty, looks naturalistic! how did u soak the driftwood? x

 

[abrahamavelar]

thanks well i used salt 2 cups i had it soaking in a 18 gallon rubber maid tub and i changed the water every day i also once a week i put it in the dish washer 3 times in a row i just wouldnt let it dry, also the last week i soaked it using salt and double the amount of dechlorinator i used amquel plus and i put it on a tub by it self to make sure it didnt leech any thing , and right b4 i put it in the tank i boiled it and ran it though the dish washer and then i just let it sit on some tank water for 20 min b4 tying the java fern, ive been soaking 3 pieces of wood and this one sank after 3 days the other ones haven even been closed to

you could use java moss and tie it to the one leg on top and put the two legs going down making a tree of java moss....

 

[abrahamavelar]

it sure was a long process from the moment i got them home until today because it wanst only the soaking but also the planning on how i was gonna place it and if i was gonna attach plants or just like that

i plan on using some moss but im not sure which one its the best option also i was thinking on making it stand but the flow was a little bit strong for it, also i couldnt get it to stand with out having something to hold it in place without the water flow

 

[Fishkeeper88]

clear some room and make an open area leaning it against the glass with java moss on it. that way it stands up and with the java moss closer to the light it will grow fast and look beautiful. here is what mine loos like after a few month of growth.

 

[abrahamavelar]

wow it looks cool!!!! will the water flow from the power head be too strong for it???????

 

[Fishkeeper88]

not if you bundle it and tie it up really tight to the wood.

 

[abrahamavelar]

oh ok cuz i been thinking about moss but i was worries that he flow would affect it
