Well decided to use leaf litter with dried leaves I collected from my backyard and Metro park most are varied Oak tree species. Noticed some tannins and the Banjo and Rams seem to enjoy it so far. I will eventually be adding more wood. Went to LFS and all the wood in their aquariums had snails in them. Tested the KH so good for Tetra. Have to order a GH kit in the future.
kno4te did you recognize the little stump. Decided to lay it long way was like most suggested and I'm liking the look. I will remove the rocks soon should be water logged.
