Never give up!It was. It's looking fairly awful just now...

I can’t belive you’ve not outfitted each kid with rucksacks you can fill with interesting finds!I did walk home with a rucksack full of rocks as my wife and kids called me an idiot.
Nice to have companyI planted quite a few crypt usteriana which immediately melted and have thrown up a few small new leaves.
Hi, I’ve got one of these lights and have just sat it on my ea900 with 10mm glass. It doesn’t fit flush by any means and has me nervous. My 600e fits my ea600 tank perfectly and I bought the same unit for the 900 as I like the light and colour rendition. I have measured the outer dimensions of the top of the light and it is only 890mm. Could you measure your unit across the top including the acrylic and see if it is also 890mm please?So i bought a Twinstar 900e from the classifieds before Xmas, only to discover it didn't actually fit a 900mm tank with 8mm glass.
I attempted various bodges, during one of said bodges the light fell off the tank and snapped off one of the legs.
I eventually called AG who had a spare, but it arrived and it was wider with screw holes in different places. Sod it, so I drilled new holes and hacksawed off the additional width.
And now I have the whole thing resting on plastic tank cover holders.
It's all about the aesthetics and the sleek aquascaping look for me...
And the wife says she preferred the rendition of the old light.
Looks fabulous! I’m all in favour of foraging for hardscape, mostly because I’m concerned about the sustainability of extracting roots from African and other trees and bushes for a hobby. It’s free as well 😀So far so good. Touch wood!!

Great thread 👍I agree with that. I started this thread a while back, but didn't feel we really got to an answer.
Where does the wood come from?
Just curious if anyone can shed light on where and how the various wood types that are sold are sourced? Is it sustainably done, or is some forest/bog somewhere being annihilated for our "piece of nature"? This discussion is had about livestock, but not seen much about hardscape. Kwww.ukaps.org
