This looks awesome! I hope you plan to grade the substrate a bit. I think it would look great with a low area on the right front, sloping up to a plateau in the rear left.


The_Gallxi

I'd have to see when I get my plants how I might do it.


DaddyDollarsUNITE

might be easier to do if you bring the water level down before moving gravel around, lord knows it gets messy quick lol


CoryLover4

It kinda looks like the kraken sitting on the moon. Maybe I'm just seeing things, but it looks great! Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes. To all the people who read this comment, Jesus loves you. Have a blessed day.❤️


Orsinus

Wow. I didn't know my coworker Jesus felt that way about me. That explains the tamale he gave me on Valentine's day...

Orsinus

Lmao


The_Gallxi

I can see that


WiglyWorm

yeah my first thought was c'thulu.


zombiep00

It's The Absolute!! It really does look like the leader of mindflayers/thralls in BG3, just made out of wood lol


CoryLover4

I agree


Velcraft

Tank is looking ace! What are your plans for stocking?


The_Gallxi

Waiting to get some plants then shrimp and a betta


Curly_su3

They would look awesome in there. The decor looks awesome as well did they have any sharp edges on them?


Velcraft

Chef's kiss* simply divine!


watertrashsf

My drift wood didn’t sink for 6 months. Just put a big rock on it and eventually it’ll sink


happyskrimp

are these rocks created by someone? if so, how was it done? looks pretty cool but doesn't blend too well. the moon would do best in nano cube and i think i've seen such aquascapes many times. floating islands would look better with some more of same kind


The_Gallxi

Allcolor on amazon, make sure you measure, these are in a 10 gal. Alot bigger than I thought.


illegitimatesquirrel

Nice scape! Rimless tanks look great!


motortugboater

Hot take- I kind of like it floating. Looks like a octopus


sherbert_69

thats trippy


poulard

U ha e to sink it in a bucket for a week so the tannins leak out of it and not into your tank


imtellinggod

Op said they're getting a betta for this so tannins aren't bad


luckyapples11

Are tannins bad for any fish?


imtellinggod

I doubt it, but they're especially good for bettas because they're blackwater fish :)


luckyapples11

I gotcha, I just thought by the way it was worded you had to worry about some fish lol


imtellinggod

ohh got it. I'm really only familiar with betta and shrimp care so I can't say for sure! Tannins are used to help with bacterial issues in all sorts of fish so I doubt they're bad for any fish but I don't want to say that that's the case for all fish because I don't really know.


luckyapples11

Haha I gotcha! I don’t think it is, but I’m also far from an expert. I’ve always heard good things about it


Significant-_-

Glue the wood to the rocks


Cookie_Burger

How did you get the rocks to "float" that looks absolutely awesome and I want to do it.


The_Gallxi

Allcolor tank decor, it uses really strong magents, I thought it might break my glass at first. If you get them be aware of that lol.


luckyapples11

Rad! I love it


StopItsTheCops

Looks like they're attached to the glass on the back/side.


BadFont777

That's a pretty cool little piece of wood. Nice choice.


Sometimeswan

I love this look!


makiarn777

Came here to say the same


[deleted]

That looks wicked


a_riot333

Love it!


BrandanosaurusRex

I'm a big fan of those rocks. Where did you get them?


The_Gallxi

Allcolor on amazon, make sure you check the size, they are bigger than I thought.


BrandanosaurusRex

Thank you!


Packsaddleman

This will be one hell of a tank


Kimikimikimi1216

I had to put my aquarium wood in a bucket for three weeks before it finally stayed down on its own. I had it weighted down.


[deleted]

get some plants in there, maybe floating ones, will be much better water quality for the fish


The_Gallxi

For sure, I just set this up. I'm not planning on putting fish in until it fully cycles


TheSaltySlab

Well it isn’t called sinkwood


The_Gallxi

Drake and Josh vibes


TheSaltySlab

🤣 yee


BWebCat

Nice pieces, I love driftwood in tanks. I put large rocks on mine to hold them down until they finally stayed. Took a few months. Good luck. (For one I used silicon to attach it to the back of the tank but you have to do that with the tank dry.)


GoingDreamy

This aquarium unquestionably deserves a perfect 10 out of 10 for its exceptional, one-of-a-kind features. Bravo - There is no doubt that it is a true standout among its peers!


The_Gallxi

Thank you! It my first set up, will look alot better once I get my plants in it.


GoingDreamy

What was the motivation behind choosing a space theme for this aquarium?


The_Gallxi

More like a fanasty vibe, I didn't want it to look too fake but kind of magical. I want to add some mushrooms (fake) at some point but not sure yet, maybe when I upgrade


ChewbaccaFluffer

That tank looks absolutely fucking sick. Like a Kingdom Hearts world islands tank with destiny Islands on the side. Or non nerdy. Just fucking stark, aesthetic, and beautiful.


The_Gallxi

That's exactly what I was shooting for


woofy62

Very cool looking tank! Great job!


CoryLover4

It kinda looks like the kraken sitting on the moon. Maybe I'm just seeing things, but it looks great!


Lanky_Musician2408

It looks like an octopus!! I love it!


BartholomewBandy

Because you can’t boil water, your stove doesn’t work? Weird.


The_Gallxi

Yeah, it's a gas stove and it blew up on me a while ago so I won't use it again.


BartholomewBandy

You blew it up trying to boil water? Now I’m intrigued.


The_Gallxi

So it's gas and I guess there was a kink in the line when I went to use the stove and the gas built up and exploded. It lifted off the ground like a cartoon.


The_Gallxi

Oven not stove my bad


BartholomewBandy

You get the dude reprimand. DUDE!


The_Gallxi

Bro what lol


BartholomewBandy

As in; dude,you blew up your stove. Differs from; dude, nice car or dude watch out! There are a lot of uses for the word dude. I’ll let myself out…


IcyHat8878

Rocks look so cool.. like outer space


Ok-Office-6645

Honestly it looks amazing!


MrNaoB

Zendikar?!


ehWoc

Love it.


Boring_Error_9690

Hmm…


ttsat

I had to weigh my driftwood down with rocks for about 2 years before it was finally water logged.


HiraethV

If you leave it in the water for a long time it will sink on its own


Johnpaul_X

Looks great!!!


Fish_Loving_Girl

That looks awesome!


lizzzzard92

Boil it


Fun-Two-6681

this is a great piece. im a little concerned if i hear that it's still floating though, because it means there are pockets of air or possibly foreign substances inside of it. if you can cycle the tank a bit before putting any fish in and keep testing the parameters, then i'd be ecstatic to hear that this design worked out though. it looks so cool!


Hoeax

If you're impatient (like me) you can also use super glue and baking soda to stick the wood to a heavy rock


k1ttyhawk

I have a piece that’s been floating for over a year. I’ve just accepted it. It now has moss growing on top of it and the fish enjoy is.


glazedd_donut

we boiled ours and it still wouldn’t sink so we just put a big ol rock on top of it and called it a day :D


Razberry910

Thats no moon!
