It's 13lbs of petrified wood that I bought from an aquarium shop, I made sure to grab all the small pieces they had to compliment the larger central rocks.

Petrified wood can be problematic, but not always. It can raise TDS, and release minerals into the water. Just a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up.

DIY 36" spray bar.

I wanted a tank length spray bar to distribute CO2/flow better throughout the tank. Bought a 36" 1/2" OD clear PVC tube and drilled 3/32" holes an inch apart. Perfect flow speed for the Rena Filstar XP3 (350 GPH)

Got the clear PVC from here: 3 dollars with free shipping! http://www.lnt.com/product/aquarium...-504991/lees-thinwall-rigid-tubing-clear.html

Comes in the most ridiculously oversized box

I just paid $3.99 a pound for a piece last night. Then today got a box full of great pieces (almost 50 lbs worth) free from a friend in a local planted tank club.

$6/lb was the regular price but I got it during a 50% off sale, so about $40.

Great tanks and great thread.

Just an update pic. Changed a few minor things with the major being the switch from HC to e.belem as my foreground.

Beautiful stand! Where did you get it?

 

[Brian_Cali77]

^^^ this is a nice setup with the stand... sort of looks like an Ikea Besta cabinet with the glossy white doors option.

Nice set up!

Any progress report for us?

Just redid my 12 yesterday. Went with more nature style this time. Used a bunch of manzanita from Tom and 10-15lbs of seiryu stone. Got the plants mapped out pretty good, just gotta wait for everything to grow in. This tank will house my royal blue tiger shrimp eventually. Should be pretty baller lol.

Yoda, you should put Yoda in there. lol Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Haha not real big on Star Wars, or props in general, going for the nature look sorry. Wish i could fast forward time to everything being grown in, or have the funds for new plants. Any one want to make a donation lol?

Today was a good day...

It was April of this year you guys got me hooked on the 12G Forum. Finally arrived - flooded. Thanks for the tips, tricks and inspiration.

I put this on our sponsor thread but just wanted to let you guys know. We will be finally bringing in a Low Iron version of the 12 gallon long. We will be getting them in next month and they will go out to all our various retailers soon after that. Green Leaf and Marine Depot should be carrying them so keep an eye out.

wowowowowow that hardscape is absolutely stunning! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I can definitely say it is one of the best scapes I've seen in a 12 long! :drool:

 

[Kai808]

My tank is still going but I think it's time for a new scape. This is what it looks like now.
