As some of you may now (since Ive been going on about it for weeks) I picked up a 46 gallon tank for less than $200 when it normally goes for $350 or more... I am seirously excited about this tank and have been doing alot of research.
Its going to have live plants (all low-moderate light stuff... dwarf saf, wisteria, jungle val, java fern, rotala indica, etc). My stock list keeps changing, though I know I definitely want Bolivian Rams and Cardinal Tetras.
I have red slate in the tank currently that form underwater caves. The only other decoration I want in the tank is a center piece. I was thinking about driftwood, but its either really expensive, or I just dont like the look of it. I still have awhile before I decide on what other decorations I want... I wont even be adding plants for another two weeks because I want to work slowly so I dont blow all my money at once.
I *really* wanted to do more of a natural tank, but like I said... The driftwood Ive found is either expensive or just not the right shape and size for where I want to put it. I have, however, found the resin pieces that I like. My question?
What are the benefits to doing true driftwood compared to doing the fake stuff?
