Got a bit of work done on the tank today. I have spent the last month or so looking for some wood to make a tree for the center of this tank. I originally was looking for Driftwood that was branchy and would fit in the 18x18x24 tank and found several I liked, but they just didn't feel right. I looked into using ghost wood and binding a couple pieces together, but never found a combination that looked right. I must have looked at 100+ pieces of wood.

Late last week I decided to buy some Broms from Genesis Exotics just to get them in and growing in one of my grow out tanks.... well because I wanted to do something that resembled forward progress on this tank. The Broms came in today and I love them!





One of the Broms I wanted was out of stock after I placed the order. Josh emailed me to let me know that he had selected another Brom that was similar to the OOS brom and also tossed in a 6th one for free. I couldn't be more pleased with the Broms. Great plants and for $5 each they are hard to beat. Thank you Genesis Exotics!


I had a Manzanita Branch in the build room from an old tank and decided to mount the broms to it for the grow out tank.. Well the more I played with the broms on it the more I realized I had the piece of wood I was looking or all month down in my basement..... lol.

Here it is with the broms mounted and in the tank. The tree is not done, but wanted to share something at least with you all tonight.



I have a few more things arriving this week for the tank. I am not sure what other plants will make the cut, but anyways wanted to share a peak at where this build was headed.

Thanks for looking.
