Took some hunting and no small amount of $ to find some manzanita bigger than just a single arm length branch
So I'm going for the riverbank / sub merged forest look. I took the big beautiful stump I got from Tom Barr and took a chainsaw to it. Smoothed back and top flat, broke off all the small branches and flipped it upside down, so it is now the bottom of tree growing down into the water. The other overflow corner is getting similar scaping.
Going to cover the back glass with slim-line tan rock background panels and lots of java and annubias plants to blend it all together
