I had posted a couple weeks ago wondering if I should go black water with this setup. (This will be my first) Just added a few plants and moss so I have a lot of Java and Christmas tree floating around/on the bottom.

After doing more research I fell in love with the idea of black water for this tank. So much that I custom made the recess lighting shelf and I’m in the process of building a matching stand for the tank itself. I’m also in the market for a couple canister filters for a 36 gal and another similar volume custom build.

My grandpa and I felled/processed the trees that will be used in this project my junior year of highschool. (roughly 10 years ago) This is my first venture into woodworking and black water. I hope to do my grandpa/myself proud lol.

Any recommendations or constructive criticism is gladly welcomed!

  1. This looks awesome! Wonder if you could attach some pothos to the top of the wood with the rest of those plants, that way the roots grow down and drape over the open space. Then again I just love pothos roots!
