Very nice Rountreesj! I have been searching high and low for some ideas on scaping my 55g. I just ordered a medium package of manzanita and have aquasoil on the way. I am planning on taking everything out of it and starting fresh. I just wanted a basic idea on using the branchy driftwood since I have never used it before. Not to mention its really hard scaping a 55g considering the 13" you've got to play with.

Rountreesj, what is your foreground plant in this pic?

Thanks for starting this thread Jans!

Ok Jan, you're just gonna have to use the bathtub. It will work, that's what I did. By now your wood would be sinking and I'd be gazing at your creation!

LOL! I know, I have it all sitting out in the garage in a Rubbermaid container waiting for a soak, and I guess I could get started on it now. It's been sort of one of those "out of sight, out of mind" deals since I've had it sitting so long.
It's been sort of a bonus to wait though, since there are so many beautiful inspirations here.

Here is mine a 120l high tank, I will update with plant pics this week. I used tire ups to tighten the branches.
