Thanks. I think it would really set your tank off IMO.

Lonestarbandit said:Very nice and artistically designed. Thumbs up.

Lifeoffroad said:Is it just the picture or is your water a little yellow? If it is, is that from the substrate?
mmille36 said:Na the yellow tint in the water is coming from the tannis leaching from the new pieces of drift wood. I also use tetra backwater that results in a water tint. The fish like it and I don't mind the coloration.
Lifeoffroad said:Got it. That's like running peat in your filter. I may do that. My fish prefer the darker coloration in the water as well. What are the tannins. I always hear about this but never had anything on my driftwood. I left mine in hot water for a night and almost the whole next day
