Thanks for the kind words.
There are three big pieces of DW in there put together
It took a long time to find good pieces I could afford. The two on each side were bought from members here and the center one was one I found! Each one soaked for months!!! It can be a lot of outlay for one piece, but since it really makes the tank, it is an investment for an amazing look. It is worth it!
The fake wood stump on the right was in there for my old Red tail shark but he is passed on now and I will be moving it but the Java Fern is now twice as big and grown onto the decoration!
Will enjoy seeing every ones style and designs on this thread.
Plants are great, and if you carefully select the right kinds to start out which are for your existing light conditions it is pretty easy. Failure is getting the wrong plants for light requirements, or fish that eat them, or uproot them, lol. After you get some feel for them, you can experiment. It can be addicting too! So watch out!!!
I also have a 16G bowfront, a 37 gallon non traditional curved front, and a 2.5G and a 5G acrylic bowfront, lol. They are my favorite as well as the Edge tanks
