Pictures after driftwood placed. The broad leaf anubias floating around was attached to the top middle of the manzanita wood. I am going to get more pictures with it. I think it balances the look having some plants up higher on the driftwood.

Good looking hard scape they will definitely pop once the plants fill in

Thanks a lot! I really like it a lot. It is my first iwagumi style layout. I am going to buy a 29 for my bedroom that my rams will go in and I plan to do the same. I really love the Zebra stone from Nepco for aquarium purposes. It is pretty pricey at 3$ a lb but worth it. I spent like 70 bones on just the rocks for this layout.

I changed up the inhabitants of this tank. Currently it has: My figure 8 puffer, a clown knife, a black ghost knife, 4 dalmatian mollies, a clown pleco. I keep rosy reds in it to keep the knife fish fed. I want to add a centipede knife next. One of my puffers died after I moved so i would like to add another 1 or 2 figure 8s to keep Kirby company.

nice! i really like your floating anubias lol

[troy tucker]

what are you using for a filter?

[Victorp]

nice scape I really like the manzanita

$3 a pound imo I would have paid a bit more for seiryu or ohko stone but zebra still looks pretty cool

Thanks everyone!

Eheim 2215 and an AC50 for filtration. I am doing a DIY canister and I will probably put the 5 gallon canister on this tank after I finish it.

Where can you buy Seiryu or Ohko local? I got the zebra at nepco this was the darkest higher end stone they had.
