Default Looking for inspiration

Time to get some plants and some 3d stuff (driftwood or rocks or something) in my FW. I'm scoring through old posts and googling setups, but I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of planted FW tanks that they really liked (theirs or someone else's) they could post here as an inspiration for me (and others).

(please and thank you!!)

Hey Tony,

Don't have a pic but I have a chunk of drift wood in my tank.
When I first got it I could never get it to stay put so I just gave up.
Now it floats about half an ince below the surface and just goes with the current.
Looks really cool with plant growing on top of it.
The fish also like it. Will try and grab some pics after.

Dan

I really must protest this thread, visiting Anthonys place and seeing his freshwater tank was bad enough but if you guys keep posting these pictures i'm going to want to set up my own freshwater tank and that would be a baaaaad thing

Just to clarify, that FW tank I posted is not my own.

...I wish it were, though. Haha! I found it a long time ago looking for FW tank ideas and it was one of the sweetest planted tanks I've ever seen.

Delphinus, are you planning to go with heavily planted or just something to make it seem more lively? I might be starting a FW tank again after seeing that particular 20 gallon FW tank in a thread here somewhere. It's gorgeous.
