Has anyone used ADA Horn Wood? What did you think of it? TGM said it may stain the water a little but should sink straight away, but I thought I'd get second opinions before getting some. I've got Old Iron Wood at the moment and I love it. Cheers, Tom

I'm trying to decide what to do with my Baileyi Puffer tank to make it look less naff. At the moment he's in a Rio 180 with a Tetratec EX1200 that's not quite cutting it, so I might have to get some more powerheads in there for water movement. Anyway, I've tried wood, but all my pieces leech...

Does Old Iron Wood need to be soaked before use? I'm not sure if it will float or not, but is it OK for tannins? Cheers, Tom

I've just got back from collecting some bits and pieces for planning various aquascapes, but I'm wondering about the safety of using some of the bits I've got.

I am covering Nature Aquaria for my college special interest project, but I'm struggling to find much detailed information in English. Anyone got any links? I'm looking for detailed information on layout styles such as Wabi Kusa, Iwagumi etc - and the different types, like sanzon etc. ADA...

Today I took down my 25l today (finding 30 cherry shrimp I'd never seen before! :shock: ) , so I have an empty tank to play with :D I working on this layout, but I'm really not sure if I like it. I've added 2 pics with one piece of wood slightly different. Tom
