i bought a beautiful piece of driftwood from fellow mfk'er manzman. this piece is huuuuge almost 5 feet long and almost 2 feet high.. i used heavy slate rocks to hold it down which was doing the job for 2 or 3 days until one night the driftwood slipped from under the rocks and floated but the rocks hit the bottom of the tank so hard i expected it to break, so out came the heavy rocks....so while being dragged through the local target store by my girlfriend i pass these white curtain/tension rods made for small windows. the rod extends from 18" to 24" and has rubber "feet" on both ends. At $1.99 apice i thought perfect i bought 2. i rushed home positioned the driftwood in place opened up the rods to the width of the tank and placed both rods perfectly over the driftwood. its ugly with the rods in there but its doing the job until the wood is waterlogged.
the first pic is of the wood floating around
the second pic is the rods before going into the tank
the pic rods holding down the driftwood
my tank is 180gallons and i'm waiting for my lfs to get my order of natural gravel next week (i hate bare bottom tanks)
