    Default Should I use this driftwood on my 20gal long???

    I just got this CRAZY looking piece of driftwood! Dimensions: 20"L x 10"W x 8.5"H

    But I'm not sure if I should use it in my new 20gal long CRS tank!???? I think it's a bit too big for this tank but I just love the unique look of it!

    Should I keep it or just sell it and look for a smaller piece? What do you guys think????

    It would be real cool if you can stand it up to form an arch. May be prop it up from behind with a couple of small branches?

    Ok all votes are 'Yes' so far!
    I voted 'maybe' myself! Lol

    Due to the size of the wood, I wont be able to do much planting although I now have pressurized CO2 ready... maybe something that grows on the wood? Or maybe offset the wood to one side so there is room for a small green carpet!?

    What are some nice plants that u guys can think of?

    I would attach flame moss to the driftwood. Roger's has some available I do believe. I think with flame moss attached to that wood and a nice carpet all around would look wicked in there
