My fake threads
If you're interested, you can find my threads on the fake mangrove root:

And fake mudbank:

Basically, these projects were undertaken to hide stuff. I want no plumbing or gizmos visible in this tank. The mangrove root hides a powerhead, the mud bank hides behind-the-tank plumbing. As I got into each project, I realized I could get other benefits from them. For instance, I've hidden in the foam wall a bunch of plastic bottles to provide caves for my fish. There will be little to no live rock in the tank, so I knew I needed to provide shelter for my fishies to feel safe and secure. The root looks cool and provides additional 'structure' for the fish to hang around.
I hope these threads inspire others to try to 'do-it-yourself', to make their own solutions to problems that might crop up when setting up an aquarium.
Enjoy!
