After a backbreaking day of scopping out lapis sand, the new tank is finally up!

[shrimppaste]

Hmmm, I wonder why the link to flikr don't work

[David]

try photobucket...better

[Shadow]

I edit the link, I hope it is the correct picture you want to show. It is one very powerful wood.

[thebaldingaquarist]

Nice wood you have there...

[tiintinn]

Nice wood! Is it going to be a bio type setup?

[David]

Is this going to be a planted tank? Love that wood piece

[thebaldingaquarist]

Biotope! Biotope please!

[Ingen]

The wood looks huge.... how much did it cost?

[Urban Aquaria]

Looks like a great setup for an amazon biotope... nice diffused light effect to simulate a natural shaded creek environment.

Can just imagine 150-200 Corydoras Pygmaeus in there and watching them school.

[barmby]

Looks like a pleco utopia

[David]

Basically, anything Amazonia works...I wish for hatchet fish ....alas, no tank cover is as good as gone...

[kohanson]

That is a very huge and nice wood you have. How much it cost?

[shrimppaste]

I actually had to bring them over from Indonesia as a luggage check in. And they are so big that it has to be done on two different trips. So there are actually two pieces in there. One is already sunken, the other is still buoyant, so I am now having a rock on top of it to make it sink. And yes, I am moving away from planted to a biotope. Hatchet fish sounds awesome! I was thinking nannostomus esques as well. Corydoras is definite. In fact that was the main consideration why I used sand. My dream is actually Wild Discus, but the price makes it hard to attain

[shrimppaste]

Oh yah, Thank You shadow for correcting the link! How do I make sure I do it correctly next time?

[David]

If you do put Hatchet Fish in, ensure you got a cover ....

[shrimppaste]

Ah! I have no cover! I guess I'll keep to my initial plan of getting the nannostomus esques then.

nice wood , any plans to add plants ?

[shrimppaste]

nice wood , any plans to add plants ?

No no. The reason for the re-scape is to take away all the plants

[AQMS]

Ah! I have no cover! I guess I'll keep to my initial plan of getting the nannostomus esques then.

Nice. Get the nannostomus mortenthaleri too... if you can get it here.
