Can't wait to see it finished.

me either

gunna be cool buddy! maybe a few silk plants and a few floating lilies" to give it that shaded look!

well cool id say!

Thanks. Planning to tie some plants onto the overhead branches as well.

I am kind of being the test monkey on it to be honest. Like I said I have never heard of anyone using it. From what I have found it's no different than manazanita or any of the other woods commonly being used. It's a dense hardwood that is clearly releasing tannins. I have it in with a few dwarf SA's, corydoras school and a geo I can't ID.

I will do a write up over in the setup/filtration section soon once I have some good data. I'll PM you once I'm done.

Cool! I actually thought about those when I saw them, but felt that they were so much cheaper than the driftwood in the same store that there might be something wrong. Let us know how it turns out

sick pieces of driftwood mang, make sure you post pics of the tank when it's scaped and stocked

I like the driftwood + anubias idea - looks great.

For both of my big SA communities, I draped a big plastic plant from the top of the tank. Provides cover and look cool...
