Thanks again for the comments! And no, the dw is not merged in any way. The two large pieces of dw are just leaned up against each other and the back of the glass. The rest of the dw was just placed to help create balance, unison, and give it a "branchy" feel. We wanted it to be more "branchy," but we didn't have, nor find, any pieces of dw that we liked. Glad you guys enjoy it!

Looks sweet! Love the driftwood arrangment. May I suggest masking the back with a black background? I think it'll make everything "pop" and complete the look of the tank... But that's just me of course :P
