Hi, I am new here but i think it looks great, I am slowly setting up a 65 gallon and I am looking for a few pieces like these. Where did you get them?
75 Rimless Rescape - Large Driftwood
4
I just rescaped my tank today - I have two new pieces of driftwood to work around. I have a lot of plants from my last scape, but looking to add some new things to this tank so it doesn't end up looking the same. I would like to put some neat angels in this tank.
I just want to get some opinion on how the wood and plants are placed. The tank consists of anubias nana, xmas moss, java fern, crypt balansae and wendtii, echinodorus tennelus, bacopa, and bolbitis fern. My intent is to leave the center area low for space for the fish. The stone on the left piece of driftwood is just temporary to weight the stump down till it sinks on its own.
I want to grow some emersed plants on the driftwood - looking for suggestions on what to grow there. Will the anubias do ok on the wood? I'm sure they will shrivel up first and then put on new leaves, correct?

Over two weeks later things have started to fill in a little and I made a few changes. I added a black vinyl background. What are the opinions if it looks better than the open back? Could I have gone with a better color than Black? The anubias attached to the driftwood out of the water died and rotted - failure. I might get some floating plants or some better emersed plants to grow out of the back right corner. Any suggestions...

I am extremely frustrated with myself over this problem - SCRATCHES! I don't know when I put these scratches in there, but it's been recently. I clean the glass with the super fine steel wool and I must have got a piece of gravel stuck in the wool and scraped it all over the tank. Is there any way to get some of these out??? The tank is only a few years old and it's right in the prime viewing spots.

Hey Matt! It seems as if everyone is going in a direction of slower growing plants and more hardscape! Man...I am away for a couple months and I missed the bandwagon! Anywho....the black looks great. One suggestion for the back right corner is to get some riparium planters and some riparium plants to grow emersed. The planters would be hidden behind your wood and I think would look great. Also...sorry to hear about your scratches. My tank was used when I got it and has a bunch of scratches all over it and there is really not much you can do about them. I researched for about 2 weeks and came up with very little. Well...your tank looks great as usual!Over two weeks later things have started to fill in a little and I made a few changes.
