Too tacky?

I dont know why, but I always want to change my tank about. I've resisted the urge to add more fish, I cant have plants because the b'stards destroy them. Looking at my probably near 60kg of driftwood in there and it looks cluttered and messy (I liked it like that last week! Lol)
Looking at the above which would be a centre piece with maybe bit of wood or rocks either end as they are around 72cm long and I have 180 odd to play with.
What did you think?

I nearly did a sunken ship marine tank but changed my mind on it. I do like some of them and in the right setup can look amazing.

Both those look good.
I do love my driftwood in there but only when it's all fitted together right and once I've cleaned each week it never goes back together how I wanted and looks disjointed and messy.
I think a galleon would be good, but itll have to be a fair size with fair size hides as my tank is big and so are the fish.
I need to see an xxl one in the flesh I think to gauge it, anyone know a stockists of giant ornaments?

Wow, that's a beast!

I really do not like these shipwrecks, helicopter wrecks, ruins etc.. as they are not natural looking but must admit they can look good and good fun too.
Those wrecks are often more expensive than natural products such as wood, branches, roots, plants etc..

Not my cup of tea, but my friend has got one and his fish absolutely LOVE it !! One downside , if fish is unwell and hiding inside, it’s a struggle to get them out .

Yeah, but the up side is I can move the ornament and put back. At the moment all my entwined wood takes ages to set back up!



It's a bit of a mish mash at the moment. Guess I'm just looking for a wow factor as I love all of you guys' planted tanks, but i cant have that.

I have never really liked the ornaments in tanks but that shipwreck marine tank is cool, with the corals around it. In a strange way it looks kind of natural like an actual shipwreck.
