Light and Drift wood!

[Haile]

Hi guys,
What’s the best way to secure drift wood on the rock, mine was soaking for a while but still floating a bit. Tie or glue?

Another question, what light you recommend for a 55l tank, it will have mostly red plants, moss and annubias.

Thanks

Hi Haile,

There is a great new tutorial from Aquarium Gardens where they use a glue specially developed for this:

I have used the cigarette filter and super glue approach before with some sucess. In the video Philipe Oliveira demonstrates how to do this:



With this use the right type of super glue (there ar lots of forum posts on this).

I watched The Green Machine videos where they used melted glue, however, this isn't the way to go (again a recent discussion on the forum on this).
Finally, my approach would just to use a rock to weigh them down until they sink!
