Never enough driftwood if placed well IMO!

I like the DW especially the middle one.

Yeah, we bought 3, the two extra & the one on the right.. Then we stopped at one last store on the way home. & saw the other two, & were like.. These look better.. Does that seem like too much though?

I'd play with arranging them. Maybe try standing the big piece up and grouping the little piece on the right by it towards the front or against it. Then move the left one off the glass and maybe see what it looks like laying different ways. You might find you just like the two like pieces (center and right) or all three if you can find a good layout. I always play with arranging DW and rocks before I set a tank up.

Okay, I'll do that.. Thanks!

How is the tank coming? My mother and I just bought a 55gal and are wanting a natural setup similar to yours, (you copycat! haha jk). Also, I saw you are in NC, me too! I live a few miles away from Asheville and I was wondering where you go to buy your supplies. I may have to dive to Charlotte for supplies and fish.

Awesome. I want to set mine up but we have yet to find a stand for our 55 gal. We may just make our own. Keep us updated!
