You don´t have a picture of the tank to post??

:oops: No; sorry... Don't have a digital, only a reflex camera with film - and just started a new roll of film to boot. But, if you don't mind waiting... Or, possibly someone else might have the same type of setup? :wink: Actually though, if you can get some pieces of driftwood that are only paritally submerged (hanging like statactites) or propped up against the sides, along with some on the bottom, that's by far the nicest look! Go for the real gnarly pieces... :)

For my 230 gallon tank, I'll just keep adding pieces whenever I find an interesting chunk of wood. I have enough to start with, and adding a few pieces here & there shouldn't break the bank... I hope.... And I should have it looking "just right" in a year or 2!

We have a planted tank and don't use Co2, nor do we use it to control the pH, we have the bogwood for that.

We're having some issues right now, but that's my two cents on Co2, it's not necessary.
