    Getting closer. Placed one of the sunken logs after adding more weight. The second is going in today. Will let it age a few days and do a water change and soon fish and pics.

    No fish yet. I am thinking of ordering 50 cardinals from Hans. There will be a lot of spots in this tank.

    Progress is slow. I am having some trouble getting the logs to stay down. Have one in and the other is getting some weight added. I will need to seal that material so it is taking time. Once it is done though then what. I will give a preview teaser pic of the right side of the tank as you look at it. I owe something. So hear it is, just a peek.

    Yes it is but it is encased in the resin. It looks cool though. The other stump is curing again. I know it will sink this time I can hardly lift it. This is a process but it keeps me busy.

    The moss does look cool and very natural. Interesting that it kept it's color under the resin.

    Here is the almost finished tank. Plants will improve and will add a few mainly on the wood. Planning some wood at the surface. The fish are three leopard with ring gene from Kenny, a brilliant male and albino male. The future inhabitants are 18 Piwowarski a combo of browns (4), RSG (6) and red turks (8) There is a short video of these in the grow out tank. The turks are a month younger than the rest.
    Ok I'm trying to figure out how to upload video. Here are a couple pics while I figure this out.

    Ok I opened a youtube account and have 2 videos up. Not sure how to paste the info here yet. Here are the names of the vids. mvi-0005.mov and mvi-0006.mov
    It is my first try so be gentle. The Piwos will go in the big tank when they are grown out enough.
    Thanks for looking.
