hi all,

have purchase 4 pieces of wood to be use in a 2ft tank. but am wondering if the wood will be of the same color once they are submerged. Have done a wash of the wood pieces but they have different tones once sprayed with water. Wondering if they (wood) get darker once they are in the tank for longer period?

below is 2 wood layout that am contemplating. Will be great to hear all comments.

many thanks, david

Layout 1 - wanted to have root-like setup


Layout 2 - kinda of like this, but am not sure what plants will be at the right back corner
