55g Planted tank (The Start)
- Thread starter Bk718
- Start date
Time for that rescape i had been waiting for..
Today goal was to take out the manzanita branches from the 55, wash/clean them and get to work on making a masterpiece (or so i tried..)
(can look at previous pages to see how the wood was in the tank)
Found a piece of slate i previously used to make a few things for the tank and decided to use that as my base
And now the tough part.. positioning the wood...
(used a few stainless steel screws and zip ties to hold the wood in place)
And heres the final product
Now im deciding if i should start redoing the plants today or wait till next week... Getting 200+ stems out of the tank would really be a pain.. + catching the fish.
ARGGGGGGG will see what happens.
