Amazon biotype & is this a good price?

[ccole]

hello hello, me again.

I currently have slate and wood in my tank and want to get rid of the slate, i have a large floor piece that takes up a lot of floor space.

I want to make an amazon biotype, i love this look, i love the tannins.

(on that note my father-in-law took my partner aside and asked if i needed help with maintaining my tank because my water seems to be brown! )

I was inspired by this artical in pfk to get going on the transformation.

I was wondering if anyone knew good places to get cheap wood, i live in norfolk but internet is very much an option. I found this on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221008351933?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

is that a good price?

the other thing i was wondering is if anyone has any tips or images they have seen of other amazon bio-types.

p.s i am not trying to create a 100% acurate amazon bio.

What Amazon biotype are you trying to recreate?
There is a countless number of habitats in the Amazon.

was inspired by the description of SOUTHWESTERN PERU
and the Madre de Dios River in this artical http://fish.mongabay.com/biotope_stream_peru.html.

I will be recreating the look not the chemical make up of the water/fish that appear there.

Me too, I had a look around and most pieces that match that price are much smaller.




Good place to look also for Amazon type biotopes is you tube
