Branchy driftwood layouts? - Aquascaping

JanS · 02-05-2008, 02:58 PM

I need some inspiration from all of you talented members. I bought one of the packages of branchy driftwood FishandTurtleJunkie a few weeks ago and am excited to get it in one of my own tanks.

Does anyone have any photos of their branchy layouts they'd like to share for inspiration? I'm not looking to copy it, but I'd like to get some ideas since I'm not the most artistic person on the board in that area....

TIA!

Jans here's a scape I did last year using branch type driftwood, I used cable ties to hold the join them together if needed, and then I used a large piece of bogwood as the central base which all the branches are tied to somehow, gotta be inventive for that bit to hold them all from falling down.

This was the basic layout with the driftwood

I then just built the plants up around it, added a bit here and there.

and it finished up like this

I would just spend some time playing around with the wood at your disposal, you would be surprised at what you will come up with, there are probably many different layouts you could do with the same pieces of driftwood, just in different combinations. I saw the wood in the buy/sell section and it looks great, best of luck with it.

I'm sure you'll come up with something great! Just keep playing with it... the same pieces can fit together in many different ways usually. Set it up and look at it for a couple days before you put water in just to make sure it will hold your interest.

Very nice CM and Zig!

I guess that's part of the fun being able to create our own.

I just thought it would be nice to group specifically branchy shots in one thread so everyone could peruse them.

Jan, I'm having trouble finding the place you got your wood from. Is it an online store or a local shop?

Oops, sorry, I should have specified that.
