right on balton. yeah, i really wanted to go all out and do the fancy root wood. one single huge centerpiece and build around that....when i found one i liked and realized i was going to pay almost 200 dollars for roots, i had to rethink logically how important the tank really is. i'm as obsessed as the next person, but i do have two kids and a girl. and we're not as set in our careers as we would like to be...so finances could be better.
well...rent's paid and most of the bills are taken care of so the rest of the month is game on. i'll post pics as the tank progresses and thanks a bunch for the input and support.
