A number of years ago I found a large burnt stump piece of driftwood. I kept it in the flowerbed in hopes of using it once I garner the energy to construct a tank large enough for it to go in. I ended up finally getting a 90-gallon tank from a friend who was using it for saltwater fish.
After cleaning:
Construction materials:
Plants were all from local nurseries
Used the rope/silicone/coco fiber method to create some vines. Really liked the technique and how the vines turned out. Hopefully they hold up.
Full tank shot, freshly planted
Close up of burnt stump
I installed a misting system within the tank using access in the corner. No drilling needed.
Some specs:
-Background is great stuff/silicone/tree fern and coco
-Tank is self draining once water gets to a certain level it travels through a tube into a bucket below the tank, within the stand
-Light is a high output T5. Very impressed with initial growth
-Custom lid with glass cut from Lowe's and siliconed piano hinges. Very simple, cheap, and efficient.
-No fan, but I did modify a Mag-Float by siliconing the scrubbing side. Works ok.
Likely will house 3 or 4 Bakuis tincs.
Thanks for looking!
