Well here is a pic of the tank and stand, not the prettiest tank or stand but it was cheap


Figuring out how to set the wood in the tank and making sure it would fit.



This will be a fully planted tank with 4-5ish young discus and a colony of corys, undecided on kind yet. Possibly something else added later on.....
I will have a 36" dual power compact light on it, I have it so this is a perfect tank to use it on.
Filtration will be a new aquaclear 110 and a fully cycled aquaclear 70, subject to change later on.

That's it for now.....

Well the wood probably wont sink right away, I can only get about 80% of each piece in the pot to boil them.

where did you get the wood from??

Neighbors dead orange tree, that's where all of my wood comes from.

Mud pies anyone?


It took about 1/2 CU FT of top soil, well boiled of course.
Now on to the sand washing.... fun fun

lol nice, i wish i think im gonna start looking for orange trees in Lehigh lol

I've got a thing in the library on how its done.

yeah i saw it, useful!!

And let there be sand!

well some sand at least
I'm going with a slightly deeper sand bed than usual, I'm planning on some plants with good root systems in this tank.

Looks like an awesome project! I love the coming together phase!!! Looks good!

I like the 'all done' part best
