[@peacefulcichlids8508]

Your scape/tank is beautiful. The drift-wood is an awesome addition.

Another way to weigh driftwood down is to use smaller rocks in a filter media bag, then drape them over the driftwood like a bean bag.

that's pretty darn cool, wish I had a lfs close by to just hang out in, I love the 75 gal tank look you did there I hope to be getting me a 90 gal next year as a show tank after April if everything goes right fingers crossed.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, much appreciated! And sounds like an awesome idea!

[@sailfinaquatics]

Tanks look great! Heres a tip on driftwood that wont sink you can use small clear zip ties to attach rocks to hold the wood down. Works good and you cant really see them. After it sinks on its own just cut the zip ties off.

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! That's a great tip!

[@Fish_Nexus]

That's some dusty sand. That the galaxy stuff from petsmart?

[@DawnMichele]

Hello!!! GREAT looking LFS!!! Your tank looks AMAZING!!!! GREAT piece of wood!!!

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@neilmartin99]

What type of wood did you use?

[@CichlidBros]

From local fish store

[@mananthakkar4765]

What store is this? Did he say chicago?

[@josepha.4072]

So u soaked the wood for days or weeks?

[@ഗുൽഗുൽമാഫിയ]

Was that Chistiano Ronaldo in 1.11 😮

[@carolinafreshaquatics5382]

Hey bro do you use co2 with your plants?

[@CichlidBros]

Carolina Freshaquatics hey there - not currently... we use root tabs and Seachem flourish which help with some of the easier plants to keep

[@peacefulcichlids8508]

Has the drift-wood had any affect on the ph?

[@CichlidBros]

There hasn't much of an affect yet, which is likely due to the size of the driftwood in comparison to the tank

[@antowanstanback8017]

I shop there as well. They have a nice selection of driftwood.

[@RLCAquatics]

Dope setup!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@melchantz]

Such a peaceful and relaxing tank.. especially the fishies are so colorful..

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Cool store, also in the driftwood tank with the plastic plants pull some of the plastic plant spikes/leaves through the driftwood it will make it look a smidge more natural also I’d try some anubias Regards Duzzy from 🇦🇺

[@CichlidBros]

Darren Dobbin thank you! Might have to try that out 👍🏻

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Cichlid Bros welcome....

[@Wildstarinc]

Soaked for a week. Boiled it. Soaked again. Still got tannin and white fungus. I bought it a store too. Got rid of it. More trouble than I thought. I am too afraid to try again.

[@PokeGummy]

I’m looking into driftwood too!!

[@CichlidBros]

Gummy Aquatics awesome 👏🏼
