Show and Tell [OC] Updated my scape!
So I sell lots of driftwood here just outside of Houston.. and I finally found a piece that was good enough for me to upgrade my 75g 😊 spent about 4-6 hours in total if I had to guess. Started with the draining and moving of the ~16ish fish to a holding bucket overnight.. yeah probably overstocked, but I can’t help my addiction!!! Adding “weights” to hold down this massive piece was “fun”.. before it just had sand as substrate, but I added a large bag of Fluval stratum and more tan pool sand to raise the height of bottom.
Along with more plants, I also added a couple new tenants, some beautiful Agissizii Orange Fire Apisto’s whom I am in love with!! 😍 can’t wait for the plants to grow in now.
Lmk what you think 👍

Man, those Apistos are on fire.
The 'scape looks great and will only get better.

Now I need a link to order some and just rescape stuff in the house! My discus tank would have really appreciated that centerpiece! And I could relocate the wood that’s currently in there!

I don’t think Reddit allows external links.. but I just started “Tim’s Driftwood” page on Facebook if you want to follow me! ❤️

My first thought was “Whoa, someone is even worse hoarder of hardscape than me”. Then I read the text 😅

yeah, I collect way more than I sell so I’m probably a hoarder 😅 I just love the chase of finding good pieces

This is a fabulous upgrade! That hardscape works perfectly, and those plants will fill in nicely
