Cheers Darren I'm not happy with it still though I'm going to try reposition the wood it looked a lot smaller in the shop ha. I'm sure you can do a bit of snapping and cutting mate.That looks sweet mate. You could grow some moss up the stalks of that wood, would look very natural. You buy that today? Wish they did smaller bits of that wood so i could get some, looks awesome.
Rock positioning looks good mate. The wood looks a little out of place though. It might look totally different when planted up but stuck right in the middle it detracts from the nice lay out of the rocks.
Could it not sit in amongts the stones on the right
Ps that aqua soil you showed is best used as a base layer and if your going to regularly be uprooting it could get muddy

Hi,
the wood is vine wood, its a soft wood and eventually rots when submerged. You get an initial mould/fungus from resins still held within the wood which clears after a few weeks. I had some in my 'Dragons Crypt' tank and it lasted around 10 months before developing another fungus which made me remove it to find very soft wood. Looks nice though and ok for short term use. I suspect large and frequent water changes helped in keeping good water quality as the wood deteriorated....but thats just speculation, it didnt seem to smell too bad.
Also worth considering is that it floats if not pre-saturated, so if your planning on using it id get it in a bucket for a few weeks so it will be ready for use
Cheerio,
Ady.
