I've always been extremely intrigued by planted tanks and usually have put a large amount of focus on keeping plants in my tanks.
I recently cleared out my 55 gallon tank of all plants...I am now keeping Oscars and they would perfer my plants all be uprooted . I also removed all of my gravel and replaced it with cheap play sand from Lowe's that I carefully cleaned and rinsed.
I then found a driftwood/tree that had washed onto shore off the coast of Sapelo Island in Georgia a few weeks ago. I sawed the root structure off of the 8-9 foot tall tree and brought the root structure back home to cure.
Now the driftwood has cured...sand has settled...and plants have been moved to a 10 gallon guppy breeding tank.
I love the simplicity of my new set-up...My Oscars seem to dig it as well.
