If you stand there with your finger on the wood long enough, it won't float ...I'll call back in a couple of weeks! :grin:

Seems to be staying put this morning 😁

Plenty of air escaped overnight so when I get in from work, I’ll rip it all out, give the sand a stir and start again.

Are you planning to add any livestock to this, snails maybe? or would they escape? I like the Anubias on the wood, I wonder if you can get an emersed plant that would tumble down the sides? Just pondering, it's looking great as it is :)

There will be bits added to the top when it matures a bit. The plan is to move endler fry into it and when they mature, put them back into the 'big' tank. Theres currently 8 in there :)

FTS of the tiny tank 😁 I’m absolutely loving this one! Maybe I’ll make tiny tanks a thing in this house, even just for aquascapes and snails hehe.

A whole raft of tiny tanks, that sounds great :upsidesmile: It's looking very clear, was expecting your big chunk of wood to have turned the water 'chocolatey'.
