    Before I got them they were powerwashed so that probably helps, but also manzanita driftwood is know to have less tannis then most other woods.

    UPDATE!
    Today I got 2 pearl gouramis, 1 opal gourami (I already had one), and 2 dwarf honey gouramis. I also plan to add 10 harlquin rasboras and 8 cardinal tetras later this week.
    I am also getting my second batch of plants in tomorrow which will triple the plants I have in there now. :cheesy:
    PICTURES WILL COME TOMORROW 8)

    The tank looks nice! What are y9ou running for filtration?

    My sister wants a 55g planted tank. That's like her dream tank lol...that and a 10g SW with an anemone and a clownfish. I was going to redo the silicone in the 55g I have and give it to her for her birthday (next month,but she says she doesn't have the room for it in the apartment.

    Thanks, Sean! :cheesy:

    For filtration I am running a Fluval 305 canister filter. Stay tuned for a lot more plants tomorrow.
    BTW get her the 55. I bet she is just saying that because she does not want to directly ask for the gift :lol:

    Oh, she's asked me for it before. She knows I'm not using it. :lol:

    She moved the furniture around in her living room and now there really isn't space for it. We'll need to change that.:builder2::hehe:
