My current project is a new 12 gallon nano cube aquascape.



As you can see I am using Eco complete. I think I have pretty much decided to create a "Mound" type aquascape. It seems the most logical design for a cube, and it would be less effort, (perhaps)

I don't really have any set plans. I am going to just make this up as I go along. And all of you are welcome to chime in as I go!

My real challenge as far as I am concerned is to create a Mound unlike anything anyone else has done before.

Here are some things I am considering using:



This branch I collected from the Oregon coast. It measures about 18" from the tallest tip to somewhere at the base horizontal section. It will have to be secured or buried to keep from floating.



This is a peice of dense hardwood that I have hadf for years in various aquariums. It still has some thread attached to it. Each side of the V measures 8 or 9"



This is a peice of petrified wood with a hole in the center. The picture is horrible, but it actually has some burly wood texture at the top. THe whole thing is only about 3 or 4 inches across.



The last items to choose from are two peices of corkbark, also previously used: they still have dried up java moss still attached. One is about 7" long, the other is 9" long. Both about 3" wide or a little more.

I definetly want to use the thin long branch. Ev erything else I am not sure about. Any thoughts or suggestions at this point?
