thanks bro for ur info, but i kinda prefer such wood.. to me they look more natural compared to those ADA wood.. but since im going down c328 tml, will drop by gc to take a look.

No worries, bro. I also bought the same wood as you. Same packaging I mean. I realise 1 thing after using it in the tank. Seems like it doesn't leak tannins at all?

Hmmmm.. not too sure about that, for such wood i usually soak it in boiling water for awhile first. to ensure all germs or tanins are gone.

Updates, tank is up and running. scaping such a tank really quite a challenge..

bought another 2 dw from c328 and played around and settled for this scape.


Sand in, Dw tied with US fissiden and rocks with similar colors were used to create gradient and to fill up the space in between those woods. Still contemplating if i should tie some of the rocks with moss/fissiden.


Needle leaf java fern harvested from my tank were used to fill up the space between rocks and woods as well as the back ground... cant find enough short ones so end up harvested some longer ones.. looks abit messy though..

Apologies for the un-focused pic and cloudy water.. stirred up the sand abit so it got cloudy.. i used ehiem substrate pro matured from my 422 filter and water from my 422 too. WC will be done in a few days time and it should be ready for fishes.. currently got 3 endlers inside for cycling.


Found out that the 10 LEDs 2.5w lighting seems abit week cant really cover the whole tank.. may change to the dymax led used in IQ3 and 5.. still deciding if i should add a fan to chill the tank abit anot..

Oh and by the way, i bought nana petite but it ended up looking like normal nana in the tank due to the small size of the tank.. so decided to do without nana petite.. found a nice space for it in my 422.

The scape looks like your 4 feet tank shrink down

ah now that u mentioned it, sure does looks abit like my 422 tank.. well i guess this kinda scape looks more pleasing to my eyes.. but im sure the overall feel of this tank is different.. first time using rocks combine with wood as well as sudo sand for bottom.
