Tcal01 said:Yur setup looks amazing . I was just wondering though, how did u prepare the eucalyptus stick so that you could put it in your tank? I found some really gnarley sticks at the beach that I thought would look insane in a fish tank.

Like ur tanks too. Where do you buy them?
OK thanks!!! And they wont decay? I read on a site that u have to go through a process of drying and soaking the wood continuously for a few months before it is ready to be put inMumma.of.two said:Thanks
The sticks where just scrubbed with hot water then went straight into the original tank they came from. Had to weight them down for a bit until they became water logged. If you found some wood I'd suggest running it through the dishwasher (no soap!) a few times. It kills all the nasties that could be inside the wood. That's what I did with some larger stumps I found. You can soak to leach tannins (drift wood might not have any of it's old) but I never do.

Wy Renegade said:Leaf structure looks similar to the Forget-Me-Nots that are in my bog, which have a similar growth pattern, but pretty hard to say for sure at this point. If you check out the bog, you will see how the Forget-Me-Nots have spread throughout the water portion.

Mumma the tank is looking beautiful!
CandC said:The tank's looking great so far! As for the rocks, they look like a good home for some moss and maybe a small java fern or two? Keep the pics coming. When I have the time, space and money a riparium is definitely on "the list"
