I'm old-fashioned, to me a fish tank should have the back painted blue, to look like deep water, some plants growing, sunken pirate ship, treasure chest with the lid going up and down releasing air bubbles, and colorful fish. Maybe a small castle, or other such ornaments.
Theo, those are growing aquatic plants; they can't live in air. That's why each of those pictures gives the period of planted growth. It's something like bonsai...constant maintenance, especially battling algae.
Those are living artworks.

Daggone, they sure look like painted landscapes to me, very realistic, didn't realize that could be done. Oh, I don't have a bonsai tree either.
But really like the castle, definitely my cuppa. Thanks.

The 30% stuff is around $25Cdn for 4 liters. That makes a lot of drugstore type solution.
Best part is after you're finished with it you water it down to about 1% and use it in your garden.

I've tried Cholla wood, but over time it simply softened and rotted.
This Hamiledyi wood however is a hardwood and very beautiful. It's deep brown mixed with a light tan. I ordered two larger pieces and I stacked these smaller pieces together to make little places where my corydoras and bottom feeders can rest under the little places between the branches. I enjoy the look of the beautiful wooden decor and my rubber lipped pleco actually eats the wood as part of it's natural diet.

Driftwood is a great addition to my aquarium's ecology. But I couldn't afford commercial driftwood, so I made driftwood for my aquarium using driftwood I collected in the wild. I cleaned it in the following steps: First, I cleaned the driftwood that I found. Then soak them in a barrel of water for about two weeks to release excess tannins that cause the water to turn brown or slightly yellow. After removing the tannin, it is necessary to wash and boil the driftwood to remove the last remaining dirt. Finally, place the driftwood in the aquarium.
If you don't have the money, you can learn how to install driftwood in the aquarium and still enhance the beauty of the aquarium without spending too much.Driftwood is a great addition to my aquarium's ecology.
