Surely someone local can hook you up with some used filter media to jump-start your new setup?

I was out at all the LFS's today looking fir rock and driftwood and found that!! Those are my corners. I am going to put some java fern in the one and let it grow there!!

What kind of wood is it? Mopani or malaysian sink on their own, most others need to be weighted down. Beautiful pieces, those will definitely make a great scape.

No because I am not sure if I am going to add yet!! I am thinking I may go a bit higher so I am waiting I may tier it up towards the back of tank!!
