I like the oak leaves in there. Who'd you get that idea from?

Hah, I wonder if "that person" got the oak leaf idea from me. So many people buy those silly almond leaves, when our own native oak provides at least as much benefit ...
You can go out with a bag and a rake and get all the oak leaves you can ask for ... heck, someone will probably pay YOU to remove them.

Hmmmm... I wonder.
True. Too much pesticide spraying at the old house, but at the new place I have my very own oak tree and no HOA to coat everything in chemicals.

Looking awesome, Becca!
Josh... I'm sure no one ever put oak leaves in their tank before you figured it out. Thank you so much for this breakthrough.
I'm pretty sure folks like Richter, Barber and Ron were doing it before we were born.

I actually prefer the Indian almond leaves, but you can't beat the price of WC oak and magnolia leaves.
Pretty sure the biggest advocate of oak leaves here got the idea from a variety of sources.Hah, I wonder if "that person" got the oak leaf idea from me. So many people buy those silly almond leaves, when our own native oak provides at least as much benefit ...

Oak leaf debate aside, thanks for the compliments on the tanks.
They do still need some work. We're swapping out the background on the 150 for some black window cling whenever I get myself up for the task - same goes for the top portion of the 55, which is currently contact paper that I stuck on just to keep the fish feeling a little more secure. The 29 is done, I swear.
At some point I may try to get some taller blocks of slag wood for the 55, but water logging them will be a PITA. I also have to find a local wood mill that sells something suitable at a reasonable price.
