I'll try and take lots of pictures

Here's the tank (DIY here) Thanks to mellowvision for the plants!

Here's what I have for the hardscape

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:

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
