Hi
I'm hoping someone can give me some advice regarding azalea root.
A couple of weeks ago, my husband bought a huge lump of azalea root for my 5x2x2 tank. So big that we couldn't find anywhere to soak it except the tank itself. It was given a good scrub and now resides in the tank at a...
After trying sorts of options to soak the wood including rain barrels and the bath I gave up. I attached a flat slate to the bottom and put it in the tank with extra rocks on the slate to weigh it down. To make it fit all the other wood had to come out and the plants on it had to go somewhere...
Looks like we will have fun.
We don't own anything large enough to soak the wood in except the tank
Looks like it is going in the tank tied to a slate as a temporary measure until it is waterlogged.
The tank has a centre brace that I'd not thought about so getting it into the tank may be a...
I was going to aim for an island type scape. Lots of rocks round to base of the wood. I think if the wood is angled slightly it could naturally fall within the tallest branch at the top left third of the tank. A few smaller branches around the base pointing towards the front at angles might...
Went to have a browse around a LFS today and hubby bought me some new wood for my tank.
It will replace the big mass of driftwood I'm making do with that is too big, too dark and blocking flow.

Where did the rock come from? If it is from your LFS a good scrub should be sufficent. If it has been in a garden and could have come on contact with chemicals like pesticides I don't know what you'd need to do but I'm sure one of the experts will be along in a bit with some great advice.
Marine tanks that use a lot of live rock often have egg crate ( http://wap.ebay.co.uk/Pages/ViewItem.as ... te&emvcc=0) under the substrate to protect the glass.
Maidenhead Aquatics @ Arborfield had a few nice bits in last week when I was there. I was looking at them longingly to replace the huge lumps of bogwood I'm stuck with for my new tank.
