I agree with jervis, it's a good plan but the bamboo is a little overwhelming. maybe if you cut the bamboo in half length wise, and worked it into the background it wouldn't consume the tank.

Hey folks! Ya I know what you mean with the size of the bamboo. I had to have it ordered into my local garden centre because they had nothing thicker than an inch so id be reluctant to ask them to order again. I wonder would there be a better way to orientate them to give a better look, what do ya think? Thanks for the feedback guys!

Hi angry monkey. Love the pictures and posts. They really are helpful, especially the false bottom idea. I forgot that I had read that somewhere. I wish I had read this before I started my tank. It woud have saved me from the tons of headaches I have had with building my pond. I thought I had it figured out when I siliconed plastic around the wood, but there were still gaps somewhere that I just couldn't find. Anyway I'll post pictures of my own as well.

Oh would anyone know of a good place to get moss? The type that looks like a carpet of short grass?

I Have a question *raises Hand* how is that 60 watt bulb working in the hood, because I am having the same issue with the 20 something watt not being enough to heat the tank. On top of that with 1 canopy in place for the UVB bulb, there is no other light fixture small enough to fit on the little 4.5" that's left.

If any-one has any suggestions that would be great.
