My new tank

[tina]

I was up all night last night, setting up this tank for my Lotl. Just had to post it

 

[sharn]

wow that looks pretty cool tina! whats that wierd bone like thing in the middle? some sort of shell? bet your axies will love it once its already to go

 

[tina]

The bone like thing is a symbolic figure carved out in stone. My boyfriend bought it for me as a gift. It resembles two people hugging and kissing and I believe it's a symbol for eternal love..

 

[tina]

you might be able to make out the people in the second picture

 

[alex]

wow great tank, i like all the plants and the symbolic figure looks great!. your axies will love it

Thats one cool looking tree root you have there.

Your axie(S) will love romping their way through your jungle of plants.

Please post some more pics when you have your axies in there.

 

[tina]

Thanx for all the nice comments you guys

I'll post some new pics when I put my axie in there.

looks really nice

love the root, lots of spots for ur axies to explore

 

[sin]

beautiful tank, the tree root looks fantastic!

 

[joan]

Are all those live plants? It looks gorgeous!

Is the root actual, true driftwood, or is it grapewood sandblasted to resemble driftwood? Driftwood will turn your water orange (leaks tannic acid, not usually a problem if you do regular water changes, just a little unsightly), and grapewood is toxic.

The roots are from the mopani and mangrove trees. They will make the water slightly acid and dark over time. I've combined four roots to get a larger rootformation.. You get theese roots for aquarium use in all petshops in Norway. And the plants are live ones too.

Wow...! all those live plants. I think you did a really great job. Your axies are gonna love it.

[rheann]

Tina, your tank is wonderful!

It's going to be breathtaking when the plants have grown bigger and filled out, it would look like a lush natural axolotl forest, so very pretty

[tina]

Thanx you guys for all the great comments. I'm really looking forward to putting my little Lotl in there (well, shes not that little..

)

 

[alex]

i agree with rheann, when those plants start to take of it'll look so good!. a well planted tank always looks good and provides lots of hiding spots for axies. make sure u post pics when shes in there!!
