Yes that's fossilised wood.Is that rock in the last 2 photos?
I tried that already but can try again. Problem is I am relying on the right stone to partially hold the left one because it is tip heavy.I think they need to be spread apart a bit more, which would make it look similar to the composition of my large tank![]()
I tried that as well but the back side of that rock is not as appealing. If I tilt it instead to the left in order to point to the right then because of the shape of the stone it looks unnatural.Or you could turn the rock on the right to point right?
I have got another stone but it is of similar size than the right stone. I tried with those 3 but for some reason it didn't look nice.Have you got more hardscape?
Yes definitely want that either with wood or stone.Loving the hardscape breaking the waterline. Definitely keep that!
A total bargain.
Omg grew fossilised wood?Is he a living fossil too?You're smack dab in the middle of the main source. In Europe, Malaysian (Indonesian) petrified wood is very popular, actually if we find any 90% comes from that region and big bucks are paid for nice pieces. When it's polished prices go over the top.
But James Findley used to use TGM Fosilized wood. He probably grew it in his back yard in wales.

Nice.Would be great if I was in london instead of Singapore ugh.I love the colour of arizona petrified wood but it is so ridiculously expensive.I got a trunk section of the white and black asian petrified wood though.In the aquascaping scene, he could be considered as such. He's an oldtimer in the hobby.
I don't know the British history of Aquascaping pioneers, but i guess he might be somewhere in the top of that list.

ahaha Nothing happened to them. Still in my placeWhat happened to the piece of wood in the first mock up... people ignoring how awesome it is lol? Forget the rocks and go with this![]()
Nice I guess the petrified wood would look much nicer after cleaning hehe.Yes I know but if you buy them in Central Bangkok then the price has gone up 5 fold so I couldn’t let this pass. Obviously it is still way cheaper than in Europe. Here is a picture of what they were selling in Chiang Mai. If only I had come in a truck I would have taken them all:

Yes certainly. He has a special powder to accelerate the process.

Not sure I'd like to use that as a stand, you're relying on the fixings holding the top horizontal member to take the weight and not sheer.
Lol - That stand was made by a reputable local aquarium stand maker. The stand is rated to withstand at least 200Kgs with a safety factor of 2.5 so it's not my shallow tank with its ~130 Kg that will stress the stand.Not sure I'd like to use that as a stand, you're relying on the fixings holding the top horizontal member to take the weight and not sheer.
That's not the location of the stand obviously. Next to the sofa... no good. Next to the daughter's playground.... no good. It is simply there for the picture and layout tests.It would be ok, but I noticed the chairs for little people. They’ll be bumping/driving/dancing in to it occasionally (I know mine do), so some cross bracing at the back would give you peace of mind.
