And my sister's cat (Nuka) tried to 'help' me

So, here's what I came up with for a hardscape, which do you like best?

I'm kinda liking just the rock ones... any ideas?

It's going to be planted with HC and some 'tall' plant, I.E. micro sword, dwarf sag, tiny crypts and stuff :grinyes:

those really driftwood or just twigs from outside?

Twigs... hard to find driftwood that small ;) But I've dried them out and stuff, but I'm leaning toward just using the rocks (they're inert.) I've seen people useing twigs before so....

Which is your favorite (or combo)

all would be fine but without the twig..
Try visiting petco they sell small peices of Malaysian driftwood (already soaked) for like $3, you can break it up even more if you want it to look a specific way

shoulda told me, I have tons of manzanita twigs you could have had, dried, debarked, and ready for the tank.
