Very well done... I really like this tank, as George said, very jungle-like...

Hi Joe,

I really like it. Very wild-jungle-esque.

You could probably half light and still be fine. Even lower maint.

How long has it been planted?

Thanks for sharing, and welcome to UKAPS! :)

I set it up at 02/02/2008, about 2 weeks ago

Great tank, you've certainly made it look much larger than it actually is, good stuff.
Where did you get the wood from?

I found it in farm where my father in law lives, and it was in a vineyard, just waiting to be picked up.
 
Today I had a pleasant surprise!!! I had been offered a gift, in a group of 6.
Take a look.
