Ok...ive had my planted discus tank for 4 or so months, generally happy with it. I can control my algae but ya kno, im tired of it lol

Trying something new...basically gonna try to create a river-bank look alike using just driftwood and rocks. Anyone ever see pictures of a strictly driftwood tank?! Id love to see some examples although I have a pretty good idea of how im going to do it.

thanks! =D

Thats not my tank..
just some pic i found while surfing.

i think its a ideal water scape for some plecos and corys.
and some wild discus

Curious as to what kind of nitrate level would be induced with so much rotting vegetation and wood ?

That's a really inspiring tank! I've always thought Amano's personal tank looked pretty good even without the plants
