Decorating ideas 4 55

[mtdewlover]

I just got my 55 gallon tank. It is cycling as we speak. It is going to be a planted cichlid tank. I know wish me luck. Anywho I need ideas on how to decorate this sucker! So far I have the florite gravel which is a red, orange, brown color and a big grey tree stump. The tree stump is really cool. Any other ideas would be great! Or if you have pictures of tanks like this or know where I can go to get ideas.

Thanks

with that color combo in the gravel i think a terra cotta pot would look good in there, plus it would be useful for a hiding (and egg laying!) spot for your cichlids or whatever else you put in there.

go and buy a sack of lava rock from Wal mart (barbeque department) wash it out really really really well (this stuff is dusty as hell) and then use that for some scenery.

Lava rocks from wally world... great idea... should they be soaked? a light bleaching? or anything else other than a good rinsing?

I think that would looks nice in my tank Thanks for the idea...

edit: might be too small for my cave ideas... Hmmm...
