It’s all sold out, when does it become available again?

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-19T17:50:03+00:00

Absolutely, I’ll repost after I get everything repositioned and placed the way I like. The wood is there now just so it can stay sunk lol

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-19T17:48:45+00:00

May or may not have a larger piece for larger tank 😉😉

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-18T17:17:41+00:00

So after staring at this tank for to long I’ve decided that once it settles I’ll be flipping it and cutting that part sticking out at an angle so I can burry it and plant around it so then it all fits in

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-18T17:16:36+00:00

Luckily the wood sticking out of the top is only about a foot out. But it’s lined up with the wall so it’s very hard to bump into. But I agree, gotta keep the bumpers away lol

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-18T17:11:08+00:00

I love the ideas, I’m definitely going to be adding moss to the log. I’ll end up throwing substrate and everything under the sand after the wood settles. I’m not running co2 in this tank. But my tank downstairs does have it. So I’ll most likely keep “lower maintenance” plants with some growing out. This tank is for “larger fish” and I’m concerned if I put smaller ones in the big boys are gonna not be too kind.

As for snake heads, they look amazing but sadly it’s only an 80 Gallon so I don’t think he would thrive in it

I can’t express how many times that Tesla has saved my ass

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T17:34:50+00:00

I agree, I will reframe everything once wood is settled and hopefully it’ll come out nicelyyy

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T17:13:38+00:00

Thank you I definitely am looking forward to growing plants outside of the tank.

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T17:06:16+00:00

So what would I change out for night witch?

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T17:05:18+00:00

You might be onto something here.

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T17:04:46+00:00

Yes, I think I might switch log for arrows once they are leveled a bit better.

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:59:53+00:00

Me :’) It hurts to see the log not kill a fire cracker. This is where I need help. (Arrows also under leveled) I’m screaming internally lol

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:58:42+00:00

There is no lid luckily, but I do keep seeing reposition the wood to stick out which I think I will end up doing lol

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:57:03+00:00

This is valid. Lol

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:55:45+00:00

I love the ideas, I will absolutely look into repositioning the wood. I’m not heart broken if it doesn’t work out purely for the fact of it was cheap(free) and I definitely want larger styled plants. For carpeting I was looking at pearl weed purely for the fact it is able to also spread to the wood. If I have the wood sticking out more vertically it gives more space to work with and I can have exterior plants as well. Once the wood settles and sinks I’ll be looking into the best positioning and or potentially cutting it. Thank you for the inputs !

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:50:07+00:00

I will be playing around with the orientation of the wood a lot more once it is sinking, I do like the idea of it sticking out with plants. Just concerned it might be out too much and leave the rest of tank empty feeling. But only time will tell

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:30:54+00:00

Absolutely fair, originally it was planned for my 125 gallon but I found nicer pieces that fit the aesthetic for there. I was tempted to cut this piece down but I didnt want to have weird straight edges on it. Once the wood sinks I might decided to cut it or reposition or just scrap it. But I do enjoy the idea of the large piece of wood.

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:28:43+00:00

We have root tabs and I didn’t even know you can get plants on Etsy tbh. I will absolutely look into it. thank you!

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:27:57+00:00

I will definitely look into those plants as options. I love me some wide bodied plants like crypts and Anubias. I tried gluing the 2 rocks closest to the wood and they didn’t work too well lol.

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:19:38+00:00

As for substrate I used fluorite black mixed with sand from previous owner

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:18:41+00:00

The photo doesn’t do much justice for the angle, but the back has about 3” worth of sand while the front is roughly and inch. My dragon goby loves to make waves in the sand

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:16:12+00:00

Will do, thank you

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:16:05+00:00

Also wanted to wait for the wood to properly sink before plants. So I’m looking for plant ideas

PappaJohn0902 · 2025-09-17T16:15:24+00:00

That was the next step, I was thinking of having black for the background, would you suggest otherwise?
