I got some new wood and have finally introduced it. I am really liking it but I'm wondering if there is such a thing as too much wood?

I like how you avoided symetry and went natural. It looks great

I really wanted this tank to have a dynamic natural scene. There is always something to watch! Here is a better pic of my new tank-mates.

this is a wow set up. Two questions? What kind of rock did you use? and what kind or brand of sand did you use? thanks for the info.

Really a great discus tank - too much wood? Sorry, but that is impossible!

Really, a perfect discus tank for those guys - they will really luv the play land you created.

Watch the water parameters - nitrates need to be very low for the discus but the plants will not like that; still, if you dose any critical micro-nutrients, you'll be fine. The fish's ammonia should keep the plants fed as the discus get big. Looks like the plants are doing too good, so, I guess what ever you are doing is working really well; pass on some tips?

I am a tahitian moon kind of guy for my sand, CaribSea or Super Naturals are good brands. The rocks are a mix of unpolished river rock, tumbled stones and a bit of fluorite that has has come up from the base substrate. I've also got some lace rock in the back supporting the wood.
