I will put up some pics, but those plants were just too messy. I decided to remove 1 kessil and put the other on low. I hate not using something I spent money on, but thats ok. Maybe I can use the kessil for some pitcher plants in a terrarium eventually. The single light makes more shadows and really looks good with the wood.

I picked up some sweet new driftwood, it has not sunken yet, but getting there. I will replace some of the rocks, but took all the rocks out for now until the wood sinks.

Excuse the mess, I need to clean it but have been messing with the wood. Keep in mind this is not final, the huge stump on the left has a rock on it and I will turn it later when it sinks so it's more vertical. Same the the one on the right, it's wedged in there. But you get the idea. I will also put a couple rocks back in there. I am happy with the 3 pieces of wood though.

I just looked at the photos, it looks much nicer in person, hahaha! Don't worry, I well get it sorted out.

Donald Trump (his name - not and endorsement) seems to be enjoying exploring the wood.

Beautiful fish, one day I'll keep a fahaka, until then I'm glad for people like you who share pictures of theirs ;) I also like how you've decorated the tank now.

Thanks! He is a fun fish.

The LFS had a 15" crazy armored common pleco I have been thinking about getting to try with Donald. It's $20 and looks like could take a bite. Donald doesn't really go after things, just takes a nibble...

Well the pleco seems to be ok so far. I saw Donald, and heard, him take a bite, but there was no damage to the pleco. I will continue to keep an eye on them, but Donald doesn't seem like he has much interest after he takes a bite. He even bit the diftwood once just to test it.

Its hard to get good measurements, so I cut this PVC 12" long. Looks like he is right around the 12" mark early November 2016!

I looked up the 1st post, that is 2" to 12" in 10 months, so that 1" per month is pretty close!
