Thanks dude. It's not a single piece, it's one main tall piece and 4 smaller pieces laid up against it to create the "stump" illusion. But the fact that you asked means it must look semi-convincing.
Well if you pay more attention, you could see the middle piece, clearly how the lines where it ends are.
How about attaching some plants like anubias/java ferns in between those woods?
Not only will it distort the lines but their roots would add additional support.
Tried to stick with all SA species (but it's not any sort of specific biotope and some of these fish are line bred anyway...)
STOCKLIST:
-5 gold severum growouts (in the future I will never put these in planted setups)
-1 pair blue acara
-6 keyhole cichlids (for some reason these are my dad's favorite? Even though he has a really gorgeous pair of blue acara...)
-7 "skunk" corys and 7 "reticulated" corys
-1 BN pleco
It's a bit early so forgive the non-Latin names.

There were a lot more plants on the wood but there was a recent massive snail outbreak and they ate almost everything in the tank. I'm thinking about covering the whole thing in moss, but I didn't have the time or patience to do so.
Oh, and this tank isn't trying to be a "nature" or "Dutch" setup or anything. I just wanted try a few different techniques and see what I could come up with without looking to any sort of reference for guidance. A lot of the pieces of wood and rocks were simply dropped into the tank and where they landed is what you see in the setup now.
The focus was placed on a very easy to maintain setup with plants that weren't overly demanding AND that the severums would leave alone.
