    Default Solitude....a new build from the chipmunk

    Thanks guys! Paul is correct though, I had those plants growing for months in other tanks. Easy to make it look full when you do that.

    Awesome Bill! Each additional photo continues to enforce why it is my favorite tank. I like it because it is not only a technically simple build, but the elegance that you managed to get from it with such a straight forward build. This should prove to everyone that you dont HAVE to have foam, spray foam, or fake rocks to have an incredibly stunning tank.


    BTW - The division of this plant you gave me has its first new growth!!

    The mushrooms are growing from the wood. The fungus actually Iives beneath the surface, the mushroom is just it's reproductive flower.

    Remember, there's no rush. Building tanks requires patience. We all want them done as fast as possible, but sometimes it just doesn't happen that way. I still have tanks still sitting empty, and it drives me nuts, but they will get built eventually

    Thanks buddy! You hit the nail on the head. I wanted to show you can build a nice tank without all the bells and whistles. Simple elegance was what I was going for

    Thank you small tanks are a challenge, particularly with scaling down the plants. But with careful planning and good plant choices, it can be done very well
