Wow...how you manage to keep the 'tree' upright?

You are perhaps the first person that I know that "cut" the BTA into two. I was too scared the last time when I had a anemone to do it for fear of poisoning the whole tank becuase of the slime.

My point of view - Since you name it tree of life, you should work on the "root" portion. Work on them 1st, then create "branches".

[ambystoma82]

there will be no roots due to the BB concept for easy cleaning

there is already branches but it is nt worthy for photos yet,due to feedin of nps below,there branches r rather very green nw,partly also my abalone went on strike lol

wonder if it is worthy of a totm

Sometimes, its better to have some stuffs at the Bot, esp for BB.

Those stuffs can protect your base, if some heavy rocks fell on it.

erm in what way it protect the base?

[tench1]

imagine one of your "branch", with abit of weight, dropped from certain height.

And just so coincidence, the pointed part hit the base 1st.

Perhaps, nothing will happen now, but if murphy struck twice and another drop hit the same spot?

This is the same as having eggcrates covered with sands laid at the bottom base to act a medium to protect your base.

Just my thoughts...for your reference.

IMO, your tree will look more like a tree, with some "roots" surfaced from the "ground".

I am in agreement with Tench1. Give it time and Murphy's Law will take effect.

oic u r refering to the tank bottom glass safety aspect instead of visual aspect?

rest assured the murphy law will nt take place as the rocks are drill and cable tie to a 4 pvc pipe structure,its test with very high cg.. some of the branches are eggcrates glue to small pebbles of rocks

[ambystoma82]

the pvc tree structure..

the branch structure is all hold by light or fake rocks.. which contributes to only 30% of the rock weight at the bottom which is already cable tie and "goop"
